Etymology
'carelessly-executed' originates from the combination of 'careless' and 'execute,' where 'careless' means 'without care' and 'execute' means 'to carry out or perform.'
'careless' changed from the Old English word 'carleas,' meaning 'free from care,' and 'execute' from the Latin word 'executus,' meaning 'to carry out.'
Initially, 'careless' meant 'free from care,' but over time it evolved to mean 'negligent or lacking attention.'
