Word origin
The word 'unconstructed' is a combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of' and the word 'constructed' which comes from the Latin 'constructus', past participle of 'construere' meaning 'to build'. The concept of something being unconstructed implies that it has not been built or assembled, remaining in a theoretical or conceptual state. The term is often used in architecture and urban planning to describe projects that have not been realized or structures that have not been completed.
