'ambiguously-given' originates from the Latin word 'ambiguus,' meaning 'doubtful' or 'uncertain,' combined with the Old English 'giefan,' meaning 'to give.'

'ambiguus' transformed into the Middle English 'ambiguous,' and 'giefan' became 'give,' eventually forming the modern English term 'ambiguously-given.'

Initially, 'ambiguus' meant 'doubtful,' and 'giefan' meant 'to give,' evolving into the current meaning of 'given in a way that is open to interpretation.'
