'amateurishly-handled' originates from the word 'amateur,' which comes from French 'amateur,' meaning 'lover of,' and 'handle,' from Old English 'handlian,' meaning 'to touch or manage.'

'Amateur' evolved from the Latin 'amator,' meaning 'lover,' and 'handle' from Old English 'handlian,' eventually forming the modern English term 'amateurishly-handled.'

Initially, 'amateur' meant 'lover of an activity,' but over time it evolved to imply a lack of professional skill, especially when combined with 'handled.'
