Etymology
'carelessly-designed' originates from the combination of 'careless' and 'design', where 'careless' comes from Old English 'carleas', meaning 'free from care', and 'design' from Latin 'designare', meaning 'to mark out'.
'careless' evolved from Old English 'carleas' to Middle English 'careles', and 'design' from Latin 'designare' to French 'designer', eventually becoming the modern English 'design'.
Initially, 'careless' meant 'free from care', but over time it evolved to mean 'lacking attention or consideration'.
