'oddly-designed' originates from the combination of 'oddly,' meaning 'in a strange or unusual way,' and 'designed,' meaning 'planned or created.'

'oddly' comes from the Old Norse word 'oddi,' meaning 'point or angle,' and 'designed' comes from the Latin word 'designare,' meaning 'to mark out.'

Initially, 'oddly' meant 'in a peculiar manner,' and 'designed' meant 'planned.' Together, they evolved to describe something created in an unusual way.
