'indecisively-aimed' originates from the combination of 'indecisive' and 'aimed', where 'indecisive' means 'not having or showing the ability to make decisions quickly and effectively', and 'aimed' means 'directed towards a target'.
'indecisive' changed from the Latin word 'indecisus', meaning 'not decided', and 'aimed' from the Old French 'esmer', meaning 'to estimate or value'.
Initially, 'indecisive' meant 'not decided', and 'aimed' meant 'directed towards a target'. Together, they evolved to describe something lacking a clear direction or purpose.
