'calmly' changed from the Old English word 'calm', and 'built' from the Old English 'byldan', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'calmly-built'.
Initially, 'calmly' meant 'in a calm manner', and 'built' meant 'constructed'. Together, they evolved to describe something constructed in a calm manner.
