Etymology
'uniformly-accepted' originates from the combination of 'uniformly' and 'accepted'. 'Uniformly' comes from 'uniform', which originates from Latin 'uniformis', meaning 'having one form'. 'Accepted' comes from Latin 'acceptare', meaning 'to receive willingly'.
'uniformly' evolved from the Latin 'uniformis' through Old French 'uniforme', and 'accepted' evolved from Latin 'acceptare' through Old French 'accepter'.
Initially, 'uniformly' meant 'in one form', and 'accepted' meant 'received willingly'. Over time, 'uniformly-accepted' evolved to mean 'recognized or agreed upon by everyone in a consistent manner'.
