Etymology
'imperfectly-produced' is a compound formed from 'imperfectly' and 'produced.' 'Imperfectly' comes from 'imperfect' + '-ly,' and 'produced' is the past participle of 'produce.'
'Imperfectly' comes from Middle English 'imparfit' (from Old French), and 'produce' comes from Latin 'producere.' The compound 'imperfectly-produced' is a modern English formation.
Initially, 'imperfectly' meant 'in an imperfect manner,' and 'produced' meant 'brought forth.' Together, 'imperfectly-produced' means 'created in an imperfect way.'
