Etymology
'definitively-built' originates from the combination of 'definitive' and 'built'. 'Definitive' comes from Latin 'definitivus', meaning 'conclusive', and 'built' is the past participle of 'build', from Old English 'byldan'.
'definitive' evolved from Latin 'definitivus' through Old French 'definitif', and 'built' from Old English 'byldan', eventually forming the modern English term 'definitively-built'.
Initially, 'definitive' meant 'conclusive', and 'built' meant 'constructed'. Together, they convey the idea of something constructed in a conclusive manner.
