Etymology
'unusually-separated' originates from the combination of 'unusual' and 'separated', where 'unusual' means 'not common' and 'separated' means 'divided or set apart'.
'unusual' changed from the Middle English word 'unusual' and 'separated' from the Latin word 'separatus', eventually forming the modern English term 'unusually-separated'.
Initially, 'unusual' meant 'not common', and 'separated' meant 'divided', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
