Etymology
'uncontroversially-formed' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not', combined with 'controversially', which comes from 'controversy', and the suffix '-formed', meaning 'shaped or created'.
'uncontroversially' evolved from the Latin 'controversia', meaning 'dispute', and 'formed' from the Old English 'geformian', meaning 'to shape'.
Initially, 'controversy' meant 'a turning against', but over time it evolved to mean 'dispute or disagreement'. 'Uncontroversially-formed' retains the meaning of being created without dispute.
