Etymology
'unevenly-linked' originates from the combination of 'unevenly' and 'linked', where 'unevenly' means 'not level or smooth' and 'linked' means 'connected'.
'unevenly' comes from the Old English word 'unefen', meaning 'not even', and 'linked' comes from the Old English 'hlencan', meaning 'to join'.
Initially, 'unevenly' meant 'not level', and 'linked' meant 'joined'. Together, they evolved to describe something connected in an irregular manner.
