Etymology
'expectedly-constructed' originates from the combination of 'expectedly' and 'constructed'. 'Expectedly' comes from 'expect', which originates from Latin 'expectare', meaning 'to look out for'. 'Constructed' comes from 'construct', which originates from Latin 'construere', meaning 'to build together'.
'expectedly' evolved from the Latin 'expectare' through Old French 'expecter', and 'constructed' evolved from Latin 'construere' through Old French 'construire'.
Initially, 'expectedly' meant 'in a manner that is anticipated', and 'constructed' meant 'built'. The combined term retains these meanings.
