imprecisely built
Etymology
'inexactly-constructed' originates from the combination of 'inexactly' and 'constructed', where 'inexactly' is derived from Latin 'inexactus', meaning 'not precise', and 'constructed' from Latin 'constructus', meaning 'to build'.
'inexactly' changed from the Latin word 'inexactus' and 'constructed' from 'constructus', eventually forming the modern English term 'inexactly-constructed'.
Initially, 'inexactly' meant 'not precise', and 'constructed' meant 'built'. Together, they evolved to describe something built without precision.
