Etymology
'inconsistently-stocked' originates from the combination of 'inconsistent' and 'stocked', where 'inconsistent' means 'not regular or predictable' and 'stocked' refers to 'having items available for sale'.
'inconsistent' changed from the Latin word 'inconsistens' and 'stocked' from the Old English 'stoc', eventually forming the modern English term 'inconsistently-stocked'.
Initially, 'inconsistent' meant 'not standing together', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'not regular or predictable'.
