'uncreatively-kept' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not,' combined with 'creative,' from Latin 'creare' meaning 'to create,' and 'kept,' the past participle of 'keep,' from Old English 'cēpan.'

'uncreatively-kept' evolved from the combination of 'uncreative' and 'kept,' reflecting a lack of innovation in maintenance.

Initially, it meant 'not maintained with creativity,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
