Etymology
'unclearly-ended' originates from the combination of 'unclear' and 'end', where 'un-' is a prefix meaning 'not', 'clear' from Latin 'clarus' meaning 'bright', and 'end' from Old English 'endian' meaning 'to finish'.
'unclear' evolved from Middle English 'uncleere', and 'end' from Old English 'endian', eventually forming the modern English term 'unclearly-ended'.
Initially, 'unclear' meant 'not bright or distinct', and 'end' meant 'to finish'. Together, they evolved to describe something not concluded clearly.
