amazingly-built
|a-maz-ing-ly-built|
/əˈmeɪzɪŋli bɪlt/
impressively constructed
Etymology
'amazingly-built' originates from the combination of 'amazing' and 'built', where 'amazing' comes from the word 'amaze', meaning 'to astonish', and 'built' is the past participle of 'build', meaning 'to construct'.
'amaze' changed from the Old English word 'amasian', and 'build' from the Old English 'byldan', eventually forming the modern English word 'amazingly-built'.
Initially, 'amaze' meant 'to bewilder', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to astonish'.
