unsafe construction
Etymology
'dangerously' originates from 'danger,' which comes from Old French 'dangier,' meaning 'power, authority, control,' and 'construct' from Latin 'construere,' meaning 'to build together.'
The term 'dangerously-constructed' evolved from the combination of 'dangerously' and 'constructed,' reflecting a modern concern for safety in construction.
Initially, 'dangerously' referred to a general sense of risk, but in combination with 'constructed,' it specifically highlights structural safety concerns.
