uniquely built
Etymology
'originally' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'originalis,' where 'origin-' meant 'beginning or source.' 'constructed' comes from Latin 'constructus,' where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'struere' meant 'to build.'
'originalis' transformed into the Old French word 'original,' and eventually became the modern English word 'originally.' 'Constructus' transformed into the Old French word 'construire,' and eventually became the modern English word 'constructed.'
Initially, 'originally' meant 'from the beginning,' and 'constructed' meant 'built together.' Over time, 'originally-constructed' evolved to imply a unique or novel creation.
