Etymology
'regularly-separated' originates from the combination of 'regularly' and 'separated', where 'regularly' comes from Latin 'regularis' meaning 'consistent' and 'separated' from Latin 'separatus' meaning 'to divide'.
'regularly' changed from the Latin word 'regularis' and 'separated' from 'separatus', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'regularly-separated'.
Initially, 'regularly' meant 'consistent' and 'separated' meant 'to divide', but over time, the compound adjective evolved to mean 'arranged at consistent intervals'.
