Etymology
'traditionally-constructed' originates from the combination of 'traditionally' and 'constructed'. 'Traditionally' comes from the Latin word 'traditionem', meaning 'handing over, passing on'. 'Constructed' comes from the Latin 'constructus', meaning 'to heap up, build'.
'Traditionally' evolved from the Latin 'traditionem' through Old French 'tradicion' and Middle English 'tradicioun'. 'Constructed' evolved from Latin 'constructus' through Old French 'construct' and Middle English 'constructen'.
Initially, 'traditionally' meant 'handing over customs', and 'constructed' meant 'to build'. Over time, 'traditionally-constructed' came to mean 'built following traditional methods'.
