Etymology
'inconveniently-placed' originates from the word 'inconvenient,' which comes from Latin, specifically the word 'inconveniens,' where 'in-' meant 'not' and 'conveniens' meant 'suitable.'
'inconveniens' transformed into the Old French word 'inconvenient,' and eventually became the modern English word 'inconvenient' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'not suitable or appropriate,' and over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'causing difficulty or discomfort.'
