Etymology
'vaguely-located' originates from the combination of 'vague' and 'locate', where 'vague' comes from Latin 'vagus' meaning 'wandering' and 'locate' from Latin 'locare' meaning 'to place'.
'vague' changed from the Old French word 'vague' and 'locate' from the Latin 'locatus', eventually forming the modern English term 'vaguely-located'.
Initially, 'vague' meant 'wandering or uncertain', and 'locate' meant 'to place', evolving into the current meaning of 'not precisely defined in location'.
