'shodly' originates from the word 'shoddy', which comes from the 19th-century English term 'shoddy', referring to recycled wool of poor quality.

'shoddy' was used to describe inferior quality wool, and over time, 'shodly' emerged as an adjective to describe anything done poorly.

Initially, it referred specifically to poor-quality wool, but now it describes anything done in a substandard manner.
