Etymology
'imprecisely-furnished' originates from the combination of 'imprecisely' and 'furnished'. 'Imprecisely' comes from Latin 'im-' meaning 'not' and 'precisus' meaning 'cut off, brief'. 'Furnished' comes from Old French 'furnir', meaning 'to furnish'.
'Imprecisely' evolved from the Latin 'imprecisus', while 'furnished' evolved from the Old French 'furnir', eventually becoming the modern English 'furnished'.
Initially, 'imprecisely' meant 'not precise', and 'furnished' meant 'equipped with furniture'. Together, they describe a space not precisely equipped with furniture.
