not clearly placed
Etymology
'unclearly-positioned' originates from the combination of 'unclearly' and 'positioned', where 'un-' is a prefix meaning 'not', 'clear' from Latin 'clarus' meaning 'bright', and 'position' from Latin 'positio' meaning 'placement'.
'unclearly' evolved from Middle English 'uncleere', and 'positioned' from Middle French 'positionner', eventually forming the modern English term 'unclearly-positioned'.
Initially, 'unclearly' meant 'not bright or distinct', and 'positioned' meant 'placed', evolving into the current meaning of 'not clearly placed'.
