Etymology
'roughly-manufactured' originates from the combination of 'roughly' and 'manufactured'. 'Roughly' comes from 'rough', which has roots in Old English 'ruh', meaning 'coarse or uneven'. 'Manufactured' comes from Latin 'manu factus', meaning 'made by hand'.
'Roughly-manufactured' combines the adverb 'roughly' with the past participle 'manufactured', reflecting a process that is not refined.
Initially, 'roughly' meant 'in a rough manner', and 'manufactured' meant 'made by hand'. Together, they describe something made without precision.
