Etymology
'variously-judged' originates from the combination of 'various' and 'judged'. 'Various' comes from Latin 'varius', meaning 'different', and 'judged' is the past participle of 'judge', from Latin 'judicare', meaning 'to decide'.
'Various' evolved from Latin 'varius' through Old French 'varieus', and 'judged' evolved from Latin 'judicare' through Old French 'jugier'.
Initially, 'various' meant 'different kinds', and 'judged' meant 'to form an opinion'. Together, they convey the idea of being assessed in multiple ways.
