occasionally confirmed
Etymology
'sporadically-verified' is a compound word formed from 'sporadically' and 'verified'. 'Sporadically' originates from the Greek word 'sporadikós', meaning 'scattered'. 'Verified' comes from the Latin 'verificare', where 'verus' meant 'true' and 'facere' meant 'to make'.
The term 'sporadically' evolved from the Greek 'sporadikós' through Late Latin 'sporadicus' and into English. 'Verified' transitioned from Latin 'verificare' to Old French 'verifier', and then into English.
Initially, 'sporadically' meant 'scattered or dispersed', and 'verified' meant 'to make true'. Together, they convey the idea of something being occasionally confirmed.
