Etymology
'disputably-constructed' originates from the combination of 'disputably' and 'constructed'. 'Disputably' comes from the Latin word 'disputare', meaning 'to discuss or argue', and 'constructed' comes from the Latin 'constructus', meaning 'to build or arrange'.
'Disputably' evolved from the Latin 'disputare' through Old French 'disputer', and 'constructed' evolved from Latin 'constructus' through Old French 'construire'.
Initially, 'disputably' meant 'capable of being argued', and 'constructed' meant 'built'. Together, they imply a structure that can be argued against.
