Etymology
'negligently-furnished' originates from the combination of 'negligently' and 'furnished'. 'Negligently' comes from Latin 'negligentia', meaning 'carelessness', and 'furnished' from Old French 'furnir', meaning 'to provide'.
'Negligently' evolved from the Latin 'negligentia' through Old French, while 'furnished' transformed from Old French 'furnir' to the modern English 'furnish'.
Initially, 'negligently' meant 'carelessness', and 'furnished' meant 'to provide'. Together, they describe a state of being carelessly provided or equipped.
