Etymology
'unofficially-made' originates from the combination of 'unofficially' and 'made', where 'unofficially' means 'not officially' and 'made' means 'created or produced'.
'unofficially' changed from the Latin word 'unofficialis' and 'made' from the Old English 'macian', eventually forming the modern English term 'unofficially-made'.
Initially, 'unofficially' meant 'not officially' and 'made' meant 'created', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
