Etymology
'orthodoxly-assembled' originates from the Greek word 'orthodoxos,' where 'ortho-' meant 'correct' and 'doxa' meant 'opinion,' combined with the English word 'assemble,' which comes from the Latin 'assimblare,' meaning 'to bring together.'
'orthodoxos' transformed into the English word 'orthodox,' and 'assimblare' became 'assemble' in Middle English, eventually forming the modern English term 'orthodoxly-assembled.'
Initially, 'orthodox' meant 'correct opinion,' and 'assemble' meant 'to bring together.' Over time, 'orthodoxly-assembled' evolved to mean 'constructed according to traditional standards.'
