fragmentary

text: Fragmentary evidence suggests that he died in a foreign country.

text: Of this empire less is known than of other domains. From time to time, fragmentary knowledge has been carried thence by some observant traveler.

ref: 1868, Overland Monthly, Samuel Carson, page 204:

text: The apparent dearth of information was at first almost disheartening. Except the Letters of Mrs. Adams, no fair exponent of the feelings and trials of the women of the Revolution had been given to the public ; for the Letters of Mrs. Wilkinson afford but a limited view of a short period of the war. Of the Southern women, Mrs. Motte was the only one generally? remembered in her own State for the act of magnanimity recorded in history ; and a few fragmentary anecdotes of female heroism, to be found in Garden's collection, and some historical works — completed the amount of published information on the subject. Letters of friendship and affection — those most faithful transcripts of the heart and mind of individuals, have been earnestly sought, and examined wherever they could be obtained.

ref: 1873, Elizabeth Fries Ellet, Stone Irving, The Eminent and Heroic Women of America, McMenamy, Hess and Mac Davitt, page VI:

text: Because the effects of which could not be contested. Because this little group of scientists, drunk with their fragmentary knowledge proudly deemed that they could forego everything that was not rational, they decreed that all humanity should also go without. They never dreamed that the science in which they had put their faith would soon be completely upset.

etymology_text: From earlier crymble, crimble, from Middle English *crymblen, kremelen, from Old English *crymlan (“to crumble”), from *crymel (“a small crumb; crumble”), diminutive of Old English cruma (“crumb”), equivalent to crumb + -le (diminutive suffix). Compare Dutch kruimelen (“to crumble”), German Low German krömmeln (“to crumble”), German Krümel, diminutive of German Krume, German krümeln, krümmeln (“to crumble”). Alteration of vowel due to analogy with crumb.
