dull presentation
Etymology
'unimaginatively-presented' originates from the combination of 'unimaginative' and 'presented'. 'Unimaginative' comes from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'imaginative' from Latin 'imaginativus', meaning 'able to imagine'. 'Presented' is derived from Latin 'praesentare', meaning 'to place before'.
'Unimaginatively-presented' evolved from the combination of 'unimaginative' and 'presented', which were used separately in Middle English and later combined in modern English.
Initially, 'unimaginative' meant 'lacking imagination', and 'presented' meant 'to show or offer'. Together, they evolved to describe something shown in a dull manner.
