unplanned formation
Etymology
'spontaneously-assembled' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'spontaneus,' where 'sponte' meant 'of one's free will,' and 'assemble' from Latin 'assemblare,' meaning 'to bring together.'
'spontaneus' transformed into the English word 'spontaneous,' and 'assemblare' became 'assemble' in modern English.
Initially, 'spontaneous' meant 'of one's own accord,' and 'assemble' meant 'to bring together,' evolving into the current meaning of 'formed without planning.'
