Etymology
'strictly-constructed' originates from the combination of 'strictly' and 'constructed', where 'strictly' means 'in a strict manner' and 'constructed' means 'built or formed'.
'strictly' and 'constructed' have been used in English since the late Middle Ages, evolving from Latin roots 'strictus' meaning 'tight' and 'construere' meaning 'to build'.
Initially, 'strictly' meant 'tightly' and 'constructed' meant 'built', but together they evolved to mean 'built with strict adherence to rules'.
