Etymology
'uncertainly-constructed' originates from the combination of 'uncertainly' and 'constructed', where 'uncertainly' is derived from 'uncertain', meaning 'not sure or definite', and 'constructed' from 'construct', meaning 'to build or form'.
'uncertainly' evolved from the Middle English 'uncertain', and 'constructed' from the Latin 'constructus', eventually forming the modern English term 'uncertainly-constructed'.
Initially, 'uncertainly' meant 'not sure', and 'constructed' meant 'built'. Together, they evolved to describe something built in an unstable manner.
