sporadic
의미: Occurring at irregular intervals or in scattered, isolated instances; not steady or continuous.
Sporadic describes events, occurrences, or phenomena that happen irregularly and unpredictably, with gaps between them. It implies a lack of pattern or consistency. It is commonly used for violence (sporadic fighting), weather events (sporadic showers), and attendance (sporadic attendance). It is similar to 'intermittent' but suggests even less regularity. Common collocations include 'sporadic fighting,' 'sporadic outbreaks,' 'sporadic showers,' and 'sporadic attendance.'
