Etymology
'uniformly-oriented' originates from the combination of 'uniformly' and 'oriented'. 'Uniformly' comes from Latin 'uniformis', where 'uni-' meant 'one' and 'forma' meant 'form'. 'Oriented' comes from Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.
'uniformly-oriented' evolved from the combination of 'uniformly' and 'oriented', which were used separately in Middle English and later combined in modern English.
Initially, 'uniformly' meant 'in one form or manner', and 'oriented' meant 'aligned'. Together, they evolved to mean 'having a consistent direction'.
