Etymology
'dimly-created' originates from the English words 'dimly' and 'created'. 'Dimly' comes from the Old English 'dim', meaning 'dark' or 'obscure', and 'created' is derived from the Latin 'creare', meaning 'to make' or 'to produce'.
'dimly' changed from the Old English word 'dim' and eventually became the modern English word 'dimly'. 'Created' evolved from the Latin 'creare' through Old French 'creer', and eventually became the modern English word 'create'.
Initially, 'dimly' meant 'dark' or 'obscure', and 'created' meant 'to make'. Over time, 'dimly-created' evolved to mean 'created in a way that lacks clarity or brightness'.
