Botcherly

/ˈbɑtʃərli/ adjective

Definition

Resembling or characteristic of a botcher; done in a clumsy, incompetent manner.

Etymology

From 'botcher' plus the adjectival suffix '-ly,' which creates an adjective meaning 'of or like a botcher.'

Kelly Says

This is an archaic word that perfectly describes that 'amateur hour' feeling—when something looks like it was done by someone who clearly had no idea what they were doing.
