gathered without certainty
Etymology
'uncertainly-collected' originates from the combination of 'uncertainly' and 'collected', where 'uncertainly' means 'in a manner that is not sure or definite' and 'collected' means 'gathered together'.
'uncertainly' and 'collected' have been used separately in English since the Middle Ages, but their combination into 'uncertainly-collected' is a modern construct.
Initially, 'uncertainly' meant 'not sure' and 'collected' meant 'gathered', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
