non-typical adjustment
Etymology
'atypically-adjusted' originates from the combination of 'atypical' and 'adjusted'. 'Atypical' comes from Greek 'a-' meaning 'not' and 'typikos' meaning 'typical'. 'Adjusted' comes from Latin 'ad-' meaning 'toward' and 'justus' meaning 'right' or 'proper'.
'Atypical' evolved from the Greek 'atypikos' to the modern English 'atypical'. 'Adjusted' evolved from the Latin 'adjustare' to the modern English 'adjusted'.
Initially, 'atypical' meant 'not conforming to type', and 'adjusted' meant 'made right'. Together, they mean 'adjusted in a non-typical way'.
