unusually built
Etymology
'uncommonly-constructed' originates from the combination of 'uncommonly' and 'constructed'. 'Uncommonly' is derived from 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'commonly' from 'common', which originates from Latin 'communis'. 'Constructed' comes from Latin 'constructus', the past participle of 'construere', meaning 'to build together'.
'uncommonly' evolved from Middle English 'uncomun', and 'constructed' from Middle English 'constructen', both eventually forming the modern English term 'uncommonly-constructed'.
Initially, 'uncommonly' meant 'not common', and 'constructed' meant 'built'. Together, they evolved to describe something built in an unusual manner.
