Etymology
Consistency comes from the Latin consistere, with con- 'together' and sistere 'to stand', the same root you can see in the idea of 'stand'. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine someone who 'stands' the same way every day—when behaviour or work stays the same, we call it 'consistency'.
