Etymology
'meticulously-constructed' originates from the Latin word 'meticulosus,' meaning 'fearful' or 'timid,' combined with the Latin 'constructus,' meaning 'to pile up' or 'to build.'
'Meticulosus' evolved into the English word 'meticulous,' and 'constructus' became 'construct.' The combination of these words formed the modern English term 'meticulously-constructed.'
Initially, 'meticulous' meant 'fearful,' but over time it evolved to mean 'showing great attention to detail.'
