Etymology
'obligatorily-constructed' originates from the Latin word 'obligare,' meaning 'to bind,' and 'constructus,' meaning 'to build.'
'Obligare' transformed into the Old French word 'obliger,' and eventually became the modern English word 'obligate.' 'Constructus' evolved into 'construct' in English.
Initially, 'obligare' meant 'to bind or tie,' and 'constructus' meant 'to build.' The combined term now refers to something that must be built or formed by obligation.
