Etymology
'beautifully-constructed' originates from the combination of 'beautifully' and 'constructed'. 'Beautifully' comes from 'beautiful', which is derived from the Latin word 'bellus', meaning 'pretty' or 'handsome'. 'Constructed' comes from the Latin 'constructus', the past participle of 'construere', meaning 'to heap together'.
'Beautifully' evolved from the Old French 'beau', and 'constructed' from the Latin 'constructus', eventually forming the modern English term 'beautifully-constructed'.
Initially, 'beautifully' meant 'in a beautiful manner', and 'constructed' meant 'built or formed'. Together, they have retained their meanings to describe something made in an aesthetically pleasing way.
