'uniformly-altered' originates from the combination of 'uniformly' and 'altered', where 'uniformly' means 'in a consistent manner' and 'altered' means 'changed'.

'uniformly' and 'altered' have been used in English since the late Middle Ages, and their combination into 'uniformly-altered' is a modern construct to describe consistent changes.

Initially, 'uniformly' and 'altered' were used separately, but their combination now specifically describes changes that are consistent across all instances.
