Etymology
'incrementally-reconstructed' originates from the combination of 'incrementally' and 'reconstructed'. 'Incrementally' comes from 'increment', which originates from Latin 'incrementum', meaning 'growth'. 'Reconstructed' comes from 'reconstruct', which originates from Latin 'reconstruere', meaning 'to build again'.
'incrementally' evolved from the Latin 'incrementum' through Old French 'increment', and 'reconstructed' evolved from Latin 'reconstruere' through Middle English 'reconstructen'.
Initially, 'incrementally' meant 'growth or increase', and 'reconstructed' meant 'to build again'. Over time, 'incrementally-reconstructed' evolved to mean 'rebuilt in small, gradual steps'.
