not accurate
Etymology
'inaccurate' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'inaccuratus,' where 'in-' meant 'not' and 'accuratus' meant 'done with care.'
'inaccuratus' transformed into the French word 'inaccurate,' and eventually became the modern English word 'inaccurate' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'not done with care,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'lacking precision or correctness.'
