'hesitantly-built' originates from the English word 'hesitant,' which comes from the Latin word 'haesitare,' meaning 'to stick or hesitate,' combined with 'built,' from the Old English 'byldan,' meaning 'to construct.'

'hesitant' evolved from the Latin 'haesitare' to the Old French 'hesiter,' and eventually became the modern English 'hesitant.' 'Built' evolved from the Old English 'byldan' to the modern English 'build.'

Initially, 'hesitant' meant 'to stick or hesitate,' but over time it evolved to mean 'uncertain or unsure.' 'Built' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to construct.'
