Etymology
'sporadically-evaluated' originates from the combination of 'sporadic' and 'evaluate'. 'Sporadic' comes from the Medieval Latin 'sporadicus', meaning 'scattered', and 'evaluate' comes from the Latin 'evaluare', meaning 'to assess'.
'Sporadicus' transformed into the English word 'sporadic', and 'evaluare' became 'evaluate' in English, eventually forming the compound adjective 'sporadically-evaluated'.
Initially, 'sporadic' meant 'scattered or isolated', and 'evaluate' meant 'to assess'. Together, they evolved to mean 'assessed at irregular intervals'.
