Happening at consistent intervals or in a predictable pattern; occurring with steady frequency.
From Latin 'regularis,' meaning 'according to rule,' derived from 'regula' (rule, straight stick). It entered English in the 14th century, emphasizing the rule-governed, predictable nature of the occurrence.
The word 'regularly' embeds the concept of a 'rule' or pattern, suggesting that true regularity isn't just frequency but frequency that follows a discernible system - like the regular beat of a metronome or the regular rising of the sun.
