Etymology
'unrealistically-altered' originates from the combination of 'unrealistic' and 'altered'. 'Unrealistic' comes from 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'realistic' meaning 'based on reality'. 'Altered' comes from Latin 'alterare', meaning 'to change'.
'unrealistic' evolved from the Middle English 'realistic', and 'altered' from the Latin 'alterare'.
Initially, 'altered' meant 'changed', and 'unrealistic' meant 'not based on reality'. Together, they imply a change that is not grounded in reality.
