Etymology
'carelessly-revised' is a compound adjective formed from 'carelessly' and 'revised'. 'Carelessly' originates from 'careless', which comes from Old English 'carleas', meaning 'free from care'. 'Revised' comes from the Latin 'revidere', meaning 'to see again'.
'carelessly' evolved from Old English 'carleas', while 'revised' evolved from Latin 'revidere' through Old French 'reviser'.
Initially, 'careless' meant 'free from care', but it evolved to mean 'lacking attention'. 'Revised' has maintained its meaning of 'to review or alter'.
