Etymology
'inaccurately-controlled' originates from the combination of 'inaccurate' and 'controlled', where 'inaccurate' comes from Latin 'inaccuratus', meaning 'not done with care', and 'controlled' from Old French 'contreroller', meaning 'to check or regulate'.
'inaccurate' changed from the Latin word 'inaccuratus' and 'controlled' from the Old French word 'contreroller', eventually forming the modern English term 'inaccurately-controlled'.
Initially, 'inaccurate' meant 'not done with care', and 'controlled' meant 'to check or regulate'. Together, they evolved to mean 'not managed or regulated with precision'.
