irregular production
Etymology
'sporadically' originates from the Greek word 'sporadikos,' meaning 'scattered,' and 'produced' comes from the Latin word 'producere,' meaning 'to bring forth.'
'sporadically' evolved from the Greek 'sporadikos' through Late Latin 'sporadicus,' and 'produced' evolved from the Latin 'producere' through Old French 'produire.'
Initially, 'sporadically' meant 'scattered,' and 'produced' meant 'to bring forth.' Over time, 'sporadically-produced' came to mean 'produced at irregular intervals.'
