Etymology
'insufficiently-produced' is a compound word formed from 'insufficiently' and 'produced.' 'Insufficiently' comes from the prefix 'in-' meaning 'not,' and 'sufficient' from Latin 'sufficere' meaning 'to meet the needs of.' 'Produced' is the past participle of 'produce,' from Latin 'producere' meaning 'to bring forth.'
'Insufficiently-produced' is a modern English compound, combining 'insufficiently' and 'produced' to describe something not produced enough.
Initially, the components meant 'not enough' and 'made,' and together they now mean 'not made enough.'
