/ɪmˈpræktɪkli ˈmɒdɪfaɪd/
unfeasibly altered
Etymology
'impractically-modified' originates from the combination of 'impractical' and 'modified', where 'impractical' comes from Latin 'impracticabilis', meaning 'not feasible', and 'modified' from Latin 'modificare', meaning 'to measure or limit'.
'impracticabilis' transformed into the English word 'impractical', and 'modificare' became 'modify', eventually forming the compound adjective 'impractically-modified'.
Initially, 'impractical' meant 'not feasible', and 'modified' meant 'altered'. Together, they evolved to describe something altered in a way that is not feasible.
