inconsistence

/ɪŋkənsˈɪstəns/ noun

inconsistency

Word Origin From Latin 'consistere' 'to stand together, be firm' — con- 'together' + sistere 'to stand'. Consistence is the quality of standing together, being solid, and inconsistence is the lack of that. The root sistere gives us assist (stand by), insist (stand on), persist (stand through), resist (stand back), exist (stand out), subsist (stand under), desist (stand down). So consistence is literally 'standing together'.
