built
Made from parts
Built is the past tense and past participle of build—to construct or assemble: They built a house, Rome wasn't built in a day.
As an adjective, built describes how something is constructed: a solidly built bridge, a well-built argument.
Applied to bodies, built means muscular or physically impressive: That guy is built.
In slang, built can describe a woman's figure, often with sexual overtones.
