Etymology
'unintentionally-constructed' originates from the combination of 'unintentional' and 'constructed', where 'unintentional' means 'not done on purpose' and 'constructed' means 'built or formed'.
'Unintentional' comes from the Latin 'intentio', meaning 'stretching out', combined with the prefix 'un-' to denote negation. 'Constructed' comes from the Latin 'constructus', meaning 'to heap together'.
Initially, 'unintentional' meant 'not having a plan or purpose', and 'constructed' meant 'built'. Together, they evolved to mean 'built without a plan or purpose'.
