'atypically-employed' is a compound word formed from 'atypically' and 'employed.' 'Atypically' comes from 'a-' meaning 'not' and 'typical,' and 'employed' is the past participle of 'employ,' from Old French 'employer.'

'Atypically' was formed in English by adding the prefix 'a-' to 'typical,' and 'employed' comes from Middle English 'employen,' from Old French 'employer.' The compound 'atypically-employed' is a modern construction used to describe non-standard employment.

Initially, 'employed' simply meant 'having a job,' but with the addition of 'atypically,' it now refers specifically to non-standard or irregular employment.
