|un-con-ven-tion-al-ly-de-signed|
/ˌʌnkənˈvɛnʃənəli dɪˈzaɪnd/
non-traditionally structured
Etymology
'unconventionally-designed' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not', the root 'convention' from Latin 'conventio' meaning 'agreement', and the suffix '-ally' indicating an adverbial form, combined with 'design' from Latin 'designare' meaning 'to mark out'.
'unconventionally' evolved from the Latin 'conventio' through Old French 'convention', and 'design' from Latin 'designare' through Old French 'designer', eventually forming the modern English term 'unconventionally-designed'.
Initially, 'convention' meant 'agreement or assembly', but over time, 'unconventionally-designed' evolved to describe something that deviates from traditional design norms.
