Etymology
'vaguely-made' is a compound word formed from 'vaguely' and 'made.' 'Vaguely' comes from 'vague,' which originates from French 'vague,' from Latin 'vagus' meaning 'wandering, uncertain.' 'Made' is the past participle of 'make,' from Old English 'macian.'
'Vaguely-made' is a modern English compound, combining 'vaguely' and 'made' to describe something created in an unclear manner.
Initially, 'vague' meant 'wandering or uncertain,' and 'made' meant 'created.' Together, 'vaguely-made' evolved to mean 'created in an unclear or imprecise way.'
