Etymology
'unimaginatively-conceived' originates from the combination of 'unimaginative' and 'conceived', where 'unimaginative' means lacking in imagination and 'conceived' means formed in the mind.
'Unimaginative' comes from the Latin 'imaginari', meaning 'to picture to oneself', and 'conceived' from the Latin 'concipere', meaning 'to take in and hold'.
Initially, 'conceived' meant 'to take in and hold', but over time it evolved to mean 'formulate in the mind'.
