Etymology
'insecurely-constructed' originates from the combination of 'insecurely' and 'constructed', where 'insecurely' is derived from Latin 'insecurus', meaning 'not secure', and 'constructed' from Latin 'constructus', meaning 'to build'.
'insecurely-constructed' changed from the Latin 'insecurus constructus' and eventually became the modern English term 'insecurely-constructed'.
Initially, it meant 'not securely built', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
