Etymology
'atypically-delivered' originates from the combination of 'atypical' and 'delivered'. 'Atypical' comes from Greek, where 'a-' meant 'not' and 'typikos' meant 'typical'. 'Delivered' comes from Latin 'deliberare', meaning 'to set free'.
'Atypical' evolved from the Greek 'atypikos' to the modern English 'atypical'. 'Delivered' transformed from the Latin 'deliberare' to the Old French 'delivrer', and eventually became the modern English 'deliver'.
Initially, 'atypical' meant 'not typical', and 'delivered' meant 'to set free'. Over time, 'delivered' evolved to mean 'to bring or transport something'.
