'uniformly-segmented' originates from the combination of 'uniformly' and 'segmented'. 'Uniformly' comes from Latin 'uniformis', where 'uni-' meant 'one' and 'forma' meant 'form'. 'Segmented' comes from Latin 'segmentum', where 'secare' meant 'to cut'.

'uniformly-segmented' changed from the combination of 'uniform' and 'segment' in English, eventually becoming the modern English word 'uniformly-segmented'.

Initially, it meant 'divided into equal parts', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
