'scantily-produced' originates from the English word 'scanty,' which comes from the Old Norse word 'skamt,' meaning 'short' or 'scarce,' combined with 'produced,' from the Latin 'producere,' meaning 'to bring forth.'

'scanty' evolved from the Old Norse 'skamt' into Middle English 'scant,' and eventually became 'scanty.' The word 'produced' has remained relatively unchanged since its Latin origins.

Initially, 'scanty' meant 'short' or 'scarce,' but over time it evolved to describe anything insufficient or minimal in quantity.
