Etymology
'unconventionally-combined' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not', the root 'convention' from Latin 'conventio' meaning 'agreement', and the suffix '-ally' indicating 'in a manner of'. 'Combined' comes from Latin 'combinare', where 'com-' meant 'together' and 'binare' meant 'to join'.
'Unconventionally' evolved from the Middle English 'unconventional', and 'combined' from the Old French 'combiner'.
Initially, 'unconventionally' meant 'not in accordance with convention', and 'combined' meant 'joined together'. The combined term retains this meaning in modern usage.
