unconventional assembly
Etymology
'unorthodoxly-assembled' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not,' combined with 'orthodox,' from Greek 'orthodoxos,' meaning 'correct opinion,' and 'assembled,' from Latin 'assemblare,' meaning 'to bring together.'
'unorthodoxly-assembled' evolved from the combination of 'unorthodox' and 'assembled,' reflecting a modern usage to describe unconventional construction or arrangement.
Initially, 'unorthodox' meant 'not conforming to established doctrine,' and 'assembled' meant 'put together.' Over time, the combination has come to describe unconventional assembly methods.
