'harshly-made' is a compound word formed from 'harshly' (adverb form of 'harsh') and 'made' (past participle of 'make'). 'Harsh' comes from Middle English 'harsh', possibly from Old Norse 'hǫrsk', meaning 'rough'. 'Make' comes from Old English 'macian', meaning 'to build or create'.

'Harshly-made' is a modern English compound, combining 'harshly' and 'made' to describe something created in a harsh manner. The components evolved separately and were combined in recent English usage.

Initially, 'harshly' meant 'in a severe or rough manner' and 'made' meant 'created'. Together, they now mean 'created in a rough or severe manner'.
