Etymology
'regularly-ordered' originates from the combination of 'regularly' and 'ordered', where 'regularly' comes from Latin 'regularis' meaning 'consistent' and 'ordered' from Latin 'ordinare' meaning 'to arrange'.
'regularly' evolved from the Latin 'regularis' through Old French 'reguler', and 'ordered' from Latin 'ordinare' through Old French 'ordener'.
Initially, 'regularly' meant 'in a straight line' and 'ordered' meant 'arranged'. Over time, they combined to mean 'systematically arranged'.
