Etymology
'compulsorily-erected' originates from the combination of 'compulsory' and 'erected'. 'Compulsory' comes from Latin 'compulsorius', meaning 'compelling', and 'erected' from Latin 'erectus', meaning 'upright'.
'Compulsory' evolved from the Latin 'compulsorius' through Old French 'compulsorie', and 'erected' from Latin 'erectus' through Middle English 'erecten'.
Initially, 'compulsory' meant 'compelling or forcing', and 'erected' meant 'to raise or set up'. Together, they imply something built due to a requirement.
