Etymology
'indifferently-crafted' originates from the combination of 'indifferent' and 'crafted', where 'indifferent' comes from Latin 'indifferens', meaning 'not different or distinct', and 'crafted' from Old English 'cræftan', meaning 'to make or build'.
'indifferently-crafted' evolved from the use of 'indifferent' to describe a lack of concern or interest, combined with 'crafted' to denote the act of making something.
Initially, 'indifferent' meant 'not different', but over time it evolved to imply a lack of interest or care, which is reflected in the modern usage of 'indifferently-crafted'.
