'abnormally-transmitted' originates from the combination of 'abnormal' and 'transmitted', where 'abnormal' comes from Latin 'abnormis', meaning 'deviating from the rule', and 'transmitted' from Latin 'transmittere', meaning 'to send across'.
'abnormally-transmitted' combines the historical evolution of 'abnormal' and 'transmitted' into a modern English term.
Initially, 'abnormal' meant 'deviating from the norm', and 'transmitted' meant 'sent across'. Together, they evolved to describe something spread in an unusual manner.
