Etymology
'spontaneously-constructed' originates from the combination of 'spontaneous' and 'construct', where 'spontaneous' comes from Latin 'spontaneus', meaning 'of one's free will', and 'construct' from Latin 'constructus', meaning 'to build'.
'spontaneous' evolved from the Latin 'spontaneus' through Old French 'spontané', while 'construct' evolved from Latin 'constructus' through Old French 'construire'.
Initially, 'spontaneous' meant 'of one's free will', and 'construct' meant 'to build'. The combined term 'spontaneously-constructed' now refers to something built or created without prior planning.
