unconventionally-set
|un-con-ven-tion-al-ly-set|
/ˌʌnkənˈvɛnʃənəli sɛt/
nontraditional arrangement
Etymology
'unconventionally-set' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not,' combined with 'conventionally,' which derives from 'convention,' meaning 'a way in which something is usually done.' The suffix '-ly' indicates an adverbial form, and 'set' refers to the arrangement or establishment of something.
'Convention' comes from the Latin word 'conventio,' meaning 'a coming together.' The prefix 'un-' and the suffix '-ly' were added in English to form 'unconventionally,' and 'set' was appended to describe a specific arrangement.
Initially, 'convention' referred to a formal assembly or agreement, but over time, it evolved to mean a standard or norm. 'Unconventionally-set' now describes something arranged outside these norms.
