/ˌɪmprɪˈsaɪsli əˈmɛndɪd/
inaccurately corrected
Etymology
'imprecisely-amended' originates from the combination of 'imprecisely' and 'amended'. 'Imprecisely' comes from Latin 'im-' meaning 'not' and 'precisus' meaning 'cut off'. 'Amended' comes from Latin 'emendare', where 'e-' meant 'out' and 'mendare' meant 'to correct'.
'Imprecisely' evolved from the Latin 'imprecisus', and 'amended' from the Latin 'emendare', eventually forming the modern English term 'imprecisely-amended'.
Initially, 'imprecisely' meant 'not precisely', and 'amended' meant 'corrected'. Together, they evolved to mean 'corrected in an imprecise manner'.
