Etymology
'independently-constructed' originates from the combination of 'independent' and 'constructed'. 'Independent' comes from Latin 'independens', meaning 'not dependent', and 'constructed' comes from Latin 'constructus', meaning 'to build'.
'Independent' evolved from the Latin 'independens' through Old French 'independant', while 'constructed' evolved from Latin 'constructus' through Old French 'construire'.
Initially, 'independent' meant 'not relying on others', and 'constructed' meant 'built'. Together, they imply something built without external help.
