'unlawfully-financed' originates from the combination of 'unlawfully' and 'financed'. 'Unlawfully' comes from 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'lawfully' meaning 'in accordance with the law'. 'Financed' comes from 'finance', which originates from Latin 'finis', meaning 'end' or 'settlement'.

'unlawfully-financed' is a modern English term formed by combining 'unlawfully' and 'financed', reflecting the concept of illegal financial activities.

Initially, 'finance' meant 'to end or settle a debt', but in this context, it evolved to mean 'to provide funds', with 'unlawfully' indicating the illegal nature of the funding.
