atypically-transmitted
|a-typ-i-cal-ly-trans-mit-ted|
/eɪˈtɪpɪkli-trænzˈmɪtɪd/
unusual transmission
Etymology
'atypically-transmitted' originates from the prefix 'a-' meaning 'not' or 'without', combined with 'typical' from Greek 'typikos', and 'transmitted' from Latin 'transmittere', where 'trans-' meant 'across' and 'mittere' meant 'to send'.
'atypically-transmitted' evolved from the combination of 'atypical' and 'transmitted', reflecting a modern need to describe unusual transmission methods.
Initially, 'atypical' meant 'not conforming to the type', and 'transmitted' meant 'sent across'. Together, they describe a non-standard method of transmission.
