Done badly or carelessly, with mistakes or poor quality; a job that was bungled or ruined through incompetence.
From botch, possibly from Middle Dutch botsen or Old English cognates. The word originally meant 'to repair badly,' which evolved to mean 'to do anything badly.' It became common slang by the 16th century.
The word 'botch' is wonderfully fun because it probably comes from the unpleasant sound of careless work—the word actually sounds a bit clumsy itself! Famous botched jobs throughout history often become more memorable than perfectly executed ones.
