Etymology
'unconventionally-displayed' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not', the root 'convention' from Latin 'conventio' meaning 'agreement', and the suffix '-ally' meaning 'in a manner'. 'Displayed' comes from Old French 'despleier', meaning 'to unfold'.
'unconventionally' evolved from 'unconventional', which was derived from 'convention'. 'Displayed' evolved from Middle English 'displayen'.
Initially, 'unconventionally' meant 'not in accordance with convention', and 'displayed' meant 'unfolded'. Over time, it evolved to mean 'shown in a non-standard way'.
