irregularly made
Etymology
'sporadically' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'sporadikós,' where 'spora' meant 'scattered.' 'Created' comes from Latin, specifically the word 'creare,' meaning 'to make or produce.'
'sporadikós' transformed into the Medieval Latin word 'sporadicus,' and eventually became the modern English word 'sporadic.' 'Creare' evolved into the Old French word 'creer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'create.'
Initially, 'sporadic' meant 'scattered or dispersed,' and 'create' meant 'to make or produce.' These meanings have largely remained the same in modern usage.
