Built or put together from separate parts or materials to create something new.
From Latin 'construere' meaning 'to pile up or build,' combining 'con-' (with) and 'struere' (to arrange); the word has meant 'building' since Roman times.
The word 'construct' is used in psychology and philosophy to describe ideas that humans invented rather than discovered—like nations, money, and rights are 'social constructs,' meaning we built the meaning, not nature.
