Etymology
'inaccurately-confirmed' originates from the combination of 'inaccurate' and 'confirm,' where 'inaccurate' means 'not accurate' and 'confirm' means 'to establish the truth or correctness of something.'
'Inaccurate' comes from the Latin word 'inaccuratus,' meaning 'not done with care,' and 'confirm' comes from the Latin 'confirmare,' meaning 'to strengthen or establish.'
Initially, 'inaccurate' meant 'not done with care,' and 'confirm' meant 'to strengthen or establish.' Together, they evolved to describe something confirmed in a manner that is not precise.
