irregular flowering
Etymology
'sporadic-blooming' originates from the combination of 'sporadic,' which comes from the Greek word 'sporadikos,' meaning 'scattered,' and 'blooming,' derived from the Old English 'blōma,' meaning 'flower.'
'sporadic' changed from the Greek word 'sporadikos' to the modern English word 'sporadic,' while 'blooming' evolved from the Old English 'blōma' to its current form.
Initially, 'sporadic' meant 'scattered or dispersed,' and 'blooming' meant 'flowering.' Together, they describe flowers that bloom irregularly.
