consistent
Meaning
The term "consistent" refers to something that is steady, reliable, and does not change over time, often used to describe behavior, results, or performance.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "consistent" with "constant"; while both imply steadiness, "constant" means unchanging, whereas "consistent" allows for variation as long as the overall pattern remains steady.
