Etymology
'imprecisely-executed' originates from the combination of 'imprecisely' and 'executed'. 'Imprecisely' comes from the Latin 'im-' meaning 'not' and 'precisus' meaning 'cut off, brief'. 'Executed' comes from the Latin 'executus', past participle of 'exsequi', meaning 'to follow out'.
'Imprecisely' and 'executed' were combined in modern English to describe actions carried out without precision.
Initially, 'executed' meant 'to carry out', and 'imprecisely' meant 'not precise'. Together, they describe actions carried out without precision.
