shoddily

/ʃˈɑdɪli/ adv

In a shoddy manner; lacking quality and done poorly, usually in a cheap and low quality way.

Word Origin Shoddily comes from shoddy, a 19th-century Yorkshire term for cheap recycled wool fabric. The word may be linked to 'shod' (covered, like a shoe), suggesting something that's been patched together poorly. That's why shoddy means inferior quality, and shoddily means in a shoddy manner. Related: shoddiness, shoddy.
