undeniably built
Etymology
'irrefutably-constructed' originates from the combination of 'irrefutable' and 'constructed'. 'Irrefutable' comes from Latin 'irrefutabilis', where 'in-' meant 'not' and 'refutare' meant 'to repel or refute'. 'Constructed' comes from Latin 'constructus', the past participle of 'construere', where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'struere' meant 'to pile up'.
'Irrefutably-constructed' changed from the combination of 'irrefutable' and 'constructed' in modern English, maintaining the meanings of both words.
Initially, 'irrefutable' meant 'not able to be refuted', and 'constructed' meant 'built'. Together, they evolved to mean 'built in a manner that cannot be disproven'.
