'vaguely' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'vagus,' meaning 'wandering' or 'indeterminate.' 'Described' comes from Latin 'describere,' where 'de-' meant 'down' and 'scribere' meant 'to write.'

'Vague' transformed from the Old French word 'vague' and eventually became the modern English word 'vague.' 'Describe' evolved from the Latin 'describere' through Old French 'descrire.'

Initially, 'vague' meant 'wandering' or 'indeterminate,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'not clear or precise.'
