'awkwardly-made' originates from the combination of 'awkwardly' and 'made', where 'awkwardly' is derived from the Old Norse word 'afugr', meaning 'turned the wrong way', and 'made' is from the Old English 'macian', meaning 'to create'.

'awkwardly' evolved from the Middle English 'awkeward', and 'made' from the Old English 'macian', eventually forming the modern English term 'awkwardly-made'.

Initially, 'awkwardly' meant 'in a wrong or clumsy manner', and 'made' meant 'created'. Together, they describe something created in a clumsy manner.
