Etymology
'distinctively-structured' originates from the combination of 'distinctive' and 'structured', where 'distinctive' comes from Latin 'distinctus', meaning 'distinguished', and 'structured' from Latin 'structura', meaning 'a fitting together, building'.
'distinctive' evolved from the Latin 'distinctus' through Old French 'distinctif', while 'structured' evolved from Latin 'structura' through Middle English 'structure'.
Initially, 'distinctive' meant 'distinguished or marked', and 'structured' meant 'arranged or organized'. Together, they convey a unique arrangement.
