Etymology
'distinctively-constructed' originates from the combination of 'distinctive' and 'constructed'. 'Distinctive' comes from Latin 'distinctus', meaning 'distinguished', and 'constructed' from Latin 'constructus', meaning 'built'.
'distinctive' changed from the Latin word 'distinctus' and 'constructed' from 'constructus', eventually forming the modern English term 'distinctively-constructed'.
Initially, 'distinctive' meant 'distinguished', and 'constructed' meant 'built'. Together, they evolved to mean 'built in a unique way'.
