Etymology
'optionally-constructed' originates from the combination of 'optional' and 'construct,' where 'optional' is derived from Latin 'optionem,' meaning 'choice,' and 'construct' from Latin 'constructus,' meaning 'to build.'
'optionem' transformed into the English word 'optional,' and 'constructus' became 'construct' in modern English.
Initially, 'optional' meant 'choice,' and 'construct' meant 'to build,' which together imply something built by choice.
