Etymology
'unconventionally-built' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not', the root 'convention' from Latin 'conventio' meaning 'agreement', and the suffix '-ally' indicating manner, combined with 'built' from Old English 'byldan'.
'unconventionally' evolved from 'unconventional', which was derived from 'convention', and 'built' from Old English 'byldan'.
Initially, 'unconventionally' meant 'not in accordance with convention', and 'built' meant 'constructed'. Together, they describe something constructed in a non-standard way.
