Etymology
'regularly-observed' originates from the combination of 'regularly' and 'observed'. 'Regularly' comes from Latin 'regularis', meaning 'consistent', and 'observed' comes from Latin 'observare', meaning 'to watch over'.
'Regularly' evolved from the Latin 'regularis' through Old French 'reguler', and 'observed' evolved from Latin 'observare' through Old French 'observer'.
Initially, 'regularly' meant 'in a consistent manner', and 'observed' meant 'watched over'. Together, they now mean 'frequently seen or noticed'.
