Etymology
Etymology Information

'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'.

Historical Evolution

'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'.

Meaning Changes
