|stead-i-ly-linked|
/ˈstɛdɪli-lɪŋkt/
Consistently connected
Etymology
'steadily' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'stede,' where 'stead' meant 'place' or 'position.' 'Linked' originates from Middle English, specifically the word 'linken,' where 'link' meant 'to connect.'
'steadily' changed from Old English 'stede' to the modern English word 'steadily.' 'Linked' evolved from Middle English 'linken' to the modern English word 'linked.'
Initially, 'steadily' meant 'in a firm or fixed manner,' and 'linked' meant 'to connect.' Over time, 'steadily-linked' evolved to mean 'consistently connected in a stable manner.'
