Etymology
'typically' originates from 'typical,' which comes from the Greek word 'typikos,' meaning 'of the nature of a type.' 'Constructed' comes from Latin 'constructus,' the past participle of 'construere,' meaning 'to heap together.'
'typical' evolved from the Greek 'typikos' through Latin 'typicalis' to the modern English 'typical.' 'Constructed' evolved from Latin 'constructus' through Old French 'construire' to the modern English 'construct.'
Initially, 'typical' meant 'of the nature of a type,' and 'constructed' meant 'to heap together.' Over time, 'typically-constructed' evolved to mean 'built in a usual or expected manner.'
