constructional

/kənstɹˈʌkʃənəl/ adj

Of, pertaining to, or obtained by construction.

Word Origin Constructional is built from Latin com- 'together' and struere 'to build, pile up'. Construction is literally 'building together.' The suffix -al makes it an adjective. The same struere gives us construct, structure, destroy (un-build), instruct (build into the mind), and instrument (something built for a purpose). The PIE root *streu- meant to spread, strew. So constructional relates to the act of piling up together.

adj Of, pertaining to, or obtained by construction.
