roughly-made
|rough/ly-made|
/ˈrʌf.li meɪd/
hastily constructed
Etymology
'roughly-made' originates from the combination of 'roughly' and 'made', where 'roughly' is derived from 'rough', meaning 'not smooth or even', and 'made' is the past participle of 'make'.
'roughly' evolved from the Old English word 'ruh', and 'made' from the Old English 'macian', eventually forming the modern English term 'roughly-made'.
Initially, 'roughly' meant 'in a rough manner', and 'made' meant 'created or constructed', which together have retained their meaning in modern usage.
