Etymology
'inexactly-modified' originates from the combination of 'inexactly' and 'modified', where 'inexactly' means 'not exactly' and 'modified' means 'changed or altered'.
The term 'inexactly-modified' evolved from the need to describe modifications that are not precise, combining the adverb 'inexactly' with the adjective 'modified'.
Initially, it meant 'changed in a way that is not exact', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
