Etymology
'steadily' originates from Old English 'stede,' meaning 'place,' and 'associate' from Latin 'associatus,' meaning 'joined with.'
'steadily' evolved from Middle English 'stedily,' and 'associate' from Old French 'associer,' eventually forming the modern English term 'steadily-associated.'
Initially, 'steadily' meant 'in a firm or unwavering manner,' and 'associate' meant 'to join or connect.' Over time, 'steadily-associated' evolved to mean 'consistently linked.'
