Etymology
'sloppily-executed' originates from the combination of 'sloppily,' derived from 'sloppy,' and 'executed,' from Latin 'executus,' meaning 'to carry out.'
'sloppy' changed from Middle English 'sloppe,' meaning 'loose, untidy,' and 'executed' from Latin 'executus,' eventually forming the modern English term 'sloppily-executed.'
Initially, 'sloppy' meant 'loose or untidy,' and 'executed' meant 'carried out.' Over time, 'sloppily-executed' evolved to mean 'performed in a careless manner.'
