vaguely-separated
|vague-ly-sep-a-rated|
/ˈveɪɡli ˈsɛpəˌreɪtɪd/
not clearly divided
Etymology
'vaguely-separated' originates from the combination of 'vague' and 'separate', where 'vague' comes from Latin 'vagus' meaning 'wandering' and 'separate' from Latin 'separatus' meaning 'to divide'.
'vague' changed from the Latin word 'vagus' and 'separate' from 'separatus', eventually forming the modern English compound 'vaguely-separated'.
Initially, 'vague' meant 'wandering' and 'separate' meant 'to divide', but over time, 'vaguely-separated' evolved to mean 'not clearly divided'.
