sporadically-denied
|spo-rad-i-cal-ly-de-nied|
/spəˈrædɪkli dɪˈnaɪd/
occasionally refused
Etymology
'sporadically-denied' originates from the combination of 'sporadic' and 'deny'. 'Sporadic' comes from the Medieval Latin 'sporadicus', meaning 'scattered', and 'deny' comes from the Latin 'denegare', meaning 'to refuse'.
'sporadicus' transformed into the English word 'sporadic', and 'denegare' became 'deny' in English. The combination of these words formed 'sporadically-denied'.
Initially, 'sporadic' meant 'scattered or isolated', and 'deny' meant 'to refuse'. The combination retains the meaning of being occasionally refused.
