Work that is done badly or clumsily; poor quality workmanship or bungled repairs.
A compound word combining 'botch' (to do something badly) and 'work' (labor or output), literally meaning 'work that is botched.'
This word became popular in the 1600s to describe the terrible repairs that incompetent craftsmen would do—it was basically the Renaissance version of calling something 'a total hack job.'
