'clumsily-structured' originates from the combination of 'clumsy,' which comes from Middle English 'clomsen,' meaning 'to be numb with cold,' and 'structure,' from Latin 'structura,' meaning 'a fitting together, building.'

'clumsy' evolved from Middle English 'clomsen' to its modern form, while 'structure' remained relatively unchanged from its Latin origin.

Initially, 'clumsy' referred to physical awkwardness, but it has expanded to include lack of skill or finesse in various contexts.
