LORE & ORIGIN

Portuguese -ar verb on the English noun "build". Wiktionary (PT) records "buildar" in its software sense, "construir (uma instância executável)", from English build plus the verb ending -ar. For the gaming sense, the Guia Alfa Path of Exile 2 guide (updated 30 Sep 2026) defines a build as a guide that an experienced player shares to explain how a character was set up, but uses only the noun, not the verb. The gaming verb itself is not dated by the pages opened.
