'shoddily-fixed' originates from the word 'shoddy,' which comes from the 19th-century English term for inferior quality woolen cloth made from recycled fibers. 'Fixed' is derived from the Latin 'fixus,' meaning 'fastened.'

'shoddy' evolved from a term describing poor-quality cloth to a general adjective for anything of inferior quality. 'Fixed' has maintained its meaning of 'fastened or repaired.'

Initially, 'shoddy' referred to low-quality cloth, but it now describes anything poorly made. 'Fixed' has consistently meant 'repaired or fastened.'
