Etymology
'methodically-built' originates from the combination of 'methodically' and 'built'. 'Methodically' comes from the Greek word 'methodikos', where 'method' meant 'a way of doing something'. 'Built' is the past participle of 'build', which comes from the Old English 'byldan', meaning 'to construct'.
'methodically' evolved from the Greek 'methodikos' through Latin 'methodicus' and eventually became the modern English word 'methodical'. 'Built' transformed from the Old English 'byldan' to the modern English 'build'.
Initially, 'methodically' meant 'in a systematic way', and 'built' meant 'constructed'. The combined term 'methodically-built' retains the original meanings, emphasizing systematic construction.
