Etymology
'typically' originates from the Greek word 'typikos,' meaning 'of the nature of a type,' and 'built' comes from the Old English 'byldan,' meaning 'to construct.'
'typikos' transformed into the Latin 'typicalis,' and eventually became the modern English word 'typical.' 'Byldan' evolved into the Middle English 'bilden,' and eventually became 'build.'
Initially, 'typical' meant 'of a type,' and 'built' meant 'to construct.' Over time, 'typically-built' evolved to describe something constructed in a common or usual manner.
