precisely built
Etymology
'rigorously-constructed' originates from the Latin word 'rigor,' meaning 'stiffness' or 'strictness,' and the Latin 'construere,' meaning 'to build together.'
'rigor' transformed into the Old French word 'rigour,' and 'construere' became 'construire' in Old French, eventually forming the modern English term 'rigorously-constructed.'
Initially, 'rigor' meant 'stiffness,' but over time it evolved to imply 'strictness' or 'precision,' while 'construct' maintained its meaning of 'to build.'
