Etymology
'imprecisely-crafted' originates from the combination of 'imprecisely' and 'crafted'. 'Imprecisely' comes from Latin 'im-' meaning 'not' and 'precisus' meaning 'cut off, brief'. 'Crafted' comes from Old English 'cræftan' meaning 'to build or make'.
'Imprecisely' evolved from the Latin 'imprecisus' through Middle English, while 'crafted' evolved from Old English 'cræftan'.
Initially, 'imprecisely' meant 'not exact', and 'crafted' meant 'made by hand'. Together, they describe something made without precision.
