Made or constructed by hand in a careful, precise way, rather than by machine; hand-placed.
Combines 'hand' with 'laid' (past tense of 'lay'), describing something arranged or assembled manually with individual care and attention.
The word 'handlaid' is often used for bricks, tiles, and paper—things that gain character from human imperfection because each piece sits slightly differently, which is why it costs more than machine-laid versions.
