/dɪˈspjuːtəbli əˈsɛmbəld/
questionably put together
Etymology
'disputably-assembled' originates from the combination of 'disputably' and 'assembled', where 'disputably' is derived from the Latin word 'disputare', meaning 'to discuss or argue', and 'assembled' from the Latin 'assemblare', meaning 'to bring together'.
'Disputably' evolved from the Latin 'disputare' through Old French 'disputer', and 'assembled' from Latin 'assemblare' through Old French 'assembler'.
Initially, 'disputably' meant 'open to discussion', and 'assembled' meant 'brought together'. The combined term retains these meanings, indicating something put together in a way that can be questioned.
