consistent
Unchanging over time
Consistent means staying the same over time or across instances.
A consistent performer delivers reliable results; consistent behavior follows the same pattern.
Something consistent with something else aligns or agrees with it: The evidence is consistent with her account.
Inconsistency is the failure to maintain this steadiness—changing standards, contradicting oneself, or producing uneven results.
