Etymology
'poorly-edited' originates from the combination of 'poorly,' meaning 'in a poor manner,' and 'edited,' the past participle of 'edit,' which comes from the Latin word 'editus,' meaning 'to publish or put forth.'
'edit' changed from the Latin word 'editus' and eventually became the modern English word 'edit.'
Initially, 'edit' meant 'to publish or put forth,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to prepare written material for publication by correcting, condensing, or otherwise modifying it.'
