Etymology
'carelessly-corrected' is a compound word formed from 'carelessly' and 'corrected'. 'Carelessly' originates from 'careless', which comes from Old English 'carleas', meaning 'free from care'. 'Corrected' comes from Latin 'correctus', the past participle of 'corrigere', meaning 'to make straight, set right'.
'Carelessly' evolved from Old English 'carleas', while 'corrected' evolved from Latin 'correctus' through Middle English 'correcten'.
Initially, 'carelessly' meant 'free from care', but over time it evolved to mean 'without care or attention'. 'Corrected' has largely retained its meaning of 'to set right'.
