Etymology
'roughly-crafted' originates from the combination of 'roughly' and 'crafted'. 'Roughly' comes from 'rough', which has Old English origins in 'ruh', meaning 'coarse or uneven'. 'Crafted' comes from 'craft', which has Old English origins in 'cræft', meaning 'skill or strength'.
'Roughly' evolved from the Old English 'ruh', and 'crafted' evolved from 'cræft'. Together, they formed the modern English term 'roughly-crafted'.
Initially, 'roughly' meant 'in a rough manner', and 'crafted' meant 'made with skill'. Together, they describe something made with visible imperfections.
