Etymology
'imprecisely-communicated' originates from the combination of 'imprecisely' and 'communicated', where 'imprecisely' is derived from Latin 'im-' meaning 'not' and 'precisus' meaning 'cut short', and 'communicated' from Latin 'communicare' meaning 'to share'.
'Imprecisely' evolved from the Latin 'imprecisus', and 'communicated' from the Latin 'communicatus', eventually forming the modern English term 'imprecisely-communicated'.
Initially, 'imprecisely' meant 'not exact', and 'communicated' meant 'shared information', evolving into the current meaning of 'conveyed in a vague manner'.
