'unevenly-judged' originates from the combination of 'unevenly' and 'judged'. 'Unevenly' comes from 'uneven', which is derived from Old English 'unefen', where 'un-' meant 'not' and 'efen' meant 'even'. 'Judged' comes from the verb 'judge', which originates from Old French 'jugier', derived from Latin 'judicare', where 'jus' meant 'law' and 'dicare' meant 'to proclaim'.

'Unevenly-judged' combines the adverb 'unevenly' and the past participle 'judged' to form a modern English adjective.

Initially, 'unevenly' meant 'not level or smooth', and 'judged' meant 'to form an opinion'. Together, they evolved to describe an assessment that is not fair or consistent.
