Etymology
'superficially-judged' originates from the combination of 'superficial' and 'judge', where 'superficial' comes from Latin 'superficialis', meaning 'of or pertaining to the surface', and 'judge' from Latin 'judicare', meaning 'to form an opinion'.
'superficial' changed from the Latin word 'superficialis' and 'judge' from 'judicare', eventually forming the modern English term 'superficially-judged'.
Initially, 'superficial' meant 'pertaining to the surface', and 'judge' meant 'to form an opinion'. Together, they evolved to mean 'evaluated based on surface-level observations'.
