Etymology
'ecologically-impacted' originates from 'ecology' and 'impact', where 'ecology' refers to the study of organisms and their environment, and 'impact' means to have a strong effect.
'Ecology' comes from the Greek word 'oikos' meaning 'house' and 'logos' meaning 'study'. 'Impact' comes from the Latin word 'impactus', meaning 'to press closely'.
Initially, 'impact' meant 'to press closely', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to have a strong effect'.
