|spo-rad-i-cal-ly-sent|
/spəˈrædɪkli sɛnt/
irregularly sent
Etymology
'sporadically' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'sporadikos,' where 'spora' meant 'scattered.' 'Sent' is derived from the Latin word 'sentire,' meaning 'to feel or perceive.'
'sporadically' changed from the Greek word 'sporadikos' and eventually became the modern English word 'sporadic.' 'Sent' evolved from the Latin 'sentire' through Old French 'sentir' to Middle English 'senten.'
Initially, 'sporadic' meant 'scattered or dispersed,' and 'sent' meant 'to feel or perceive.' Over time, 'sporadically-sent' evolved to mean 'sent in an irregular manner.'
