/ˌʌnkənˈvɛnʃənəli-trænzˈmɪtɪd/
non-standard transmission
Etymology
'unconventionally-transmitted' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not,' combined with 'conventionally,' which comes from 'convention,' and 'transmitted,' from Latin 'transmittere,' meaning 'to send across.'
'unconventionally-transmitted' evolved from the combination of 'unconventional' and 'transmitted,' reflecting a non-standard method of transmission.
Initially, 'transmitted' meant 'to send across,' but in this context, it evolved to mean 'spread or communicated in a non-standard way.'
