'sporadically' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'sporadikos,' where 'spora' meant 'scattered.' 'Transported' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'transportare,' where 'trans-' meant 'across' and 'portare' meant 'to carry.'

'sporadically' changed from the Greek word 'sporadikos' and eventually became the modern English word 'sporadic.' 'Transported' evolved from the Latin word 'transportare' through Old French 'transporter' and eventually became the modern English word 'transport.'

Initially, 'sporadically' meant 'scattered or dispersed,' and 'transported' meant 'carried across.' Over time, 'sporadically-transported' evolved to mean 'transported in an irregular manner.'
