non-standard alteration
Etymology
'unconventionally-changed' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not,' combined with 'conventionally,' which comes from 'convention,' meaning 'a way in which something is usually done,' and 'changed,' from the verb 'change,' meaning 'to make or become different.'
'Unconventionally' evolved from the Latin 'conventio,' meaning 'agreement,' and 'changed' from the Old French 'changier,' meaning 'to alter.'
Initially, 'unconventionally' meant 'not in accordance with convention,' and 'changed' meant 'altered.' Together, they describe something altered in a non-standard way.
