unclear depiction
Etymology
'vaguely-represented' originates from the combination of 'vague' and 'represent,' where 'vague' comes from Latin 'vagus' meaning 'wandering' and 'represent' from Latin 'repraesentare' meaning 'to present again.'
'vague' changed from the Old French word 'vague' and 'represent' from the Old French 'representer,' eventually forming the modern English term 'vaguely-represented.'
Initially, 'vague' meant 'wandering or uncertain,' and 'represent' meant 'to present again.' Over time, 'vaguely-represented' evolved to mean 'described in an unclear manner.'
