Etymology
'unimaginatively-executed' originates from the combination of 'unimaginative' and 'executed', where 'unimaginative' means lacking creativity and 'executed' means carried out or performed.
'unimaginative' comes from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'imaginative' from Latin 'imaginativus', while 'executed' comes from Latin 'executus', the past participle of 'exsequi', meaning 'to follow out'.
Initially, 'unimaginative' meant 'not having the power to create new ideas', and 'executed' meant 'carried out'. Together, they describe something done without creativity.
