imprecisely-changed
|im-pre-cise-ly-changed|
/ˌɪmprɪˈsaɪsli tʃeɪndʒd/
inexact alteration
Etymology
'imprecisely-changed' originates from the combination of 'imprecisely' and 'changed', where 'imprecisely' is derived from Latin 'im-' meaning 'not' and 'precisus' meaning 'cut off, brief', and 'changed' from Old French 'changier' meaning 'to alter'.
'imprecisely' evolved from the Latin 'imprecisus', and 'changed' from Old French 'changier', eventually forming the modern English term 'imprecisely-changed'.
Initially, 'imprecisely' meant 'not exact', and 'changed' meant 'altered', which together convey the idea of being altered without precision.
