Etymology
'mandatorily-constructed' originates from the combination of 'mandatory' and 'constructed', where 'mandatory' comes from Latin 'mandatum', meaning 'command', and 'constructed' from Latin 'constructus', meaning 'to build'.
'mandatorily-constructed' evolved from the combination of 'mandatory' and 'constructed', which were used separately in English before being combined to describe something that must be built by law.
Initially, 'mandatory' meant 'commanded by authority', and 'constructed' meant 'built'. Together, they now mean 'built as required by law'.
