Etymology
'securely-constructed' originates from the combination of 'securely' and 'constructed'. 'Securely' comes from the Latin word 'securus', meaning 'free from care', and 'constructed' comes from the Latin 'constructus', meaning 'to build'.
'Securely' evolved from the Old French 'secur', and 'constructed' from the Old French 'construire', eventually forming the modern English term 'securely-constructed'.
Initially, 'securely' meant 'without worry', and 'constructed' meant 'built'. Together, they evolved to mean 'built in a safe and stable manner'.
