Etymology
'atypically-situated' originates from the combination of 'atypical' and 'situated', where 'a-' meant 'not' and 'typical' meant 'usual', and 'situated' meant 'placed or located'.
'atypical' changed from the Greek word 'atypikos' and 'situated' from the Latin word 'situatus', eventually forming the modern English term 'atypically-situated'.
Initially, 'atypical' meant 'not conforming to the type', and 'situated' meant 'placed', evolving into the current meaning of 'located in an unusual manner'.
