Etymology
'imprecisely-solved' originates from the combination of 'imprecisely' and 'solved'. 'Imprecisely' comes from the Latin 'im-' meaning 'not' and 'precisus' meaning 'cut off, brief'. 'Solved' comes from the Latin 'solvere' meaning 'to loosen, untie'.
'Imprecisely' evolved from the Latin 'imprecisus' through Old French 'imprecis' and Middle English 'imprecise'. 'Solved' evolved from the Latin 'solvere' through Old French 'solver' and Middle English 'solven'.
Initially, 'imprecisely' meant 'not exact' and 'solved' meant 'loosened or untied'. Over time, 'imprecisely-solved' came to mean 'resolved without exactness'.
