Etymology
The term 'sporadically-overseen' combines 'sporadically,' from the Greek 'sporadikos,' meaning 'scattered,' and 'overseen,' from Old English 'ofersēon,' meaning 'to look over.'
'Sporadically' evolved from the Greek 'sporadikos' through Latin 'sporadicus,' while 'overseen' developed from Old English 'ofersēon.'
Initially, 'sporadically' meant 'scattered or dispersed,' and 'overseen' meant 'to look over.' Together, they now imply occasional supervision.
