'ecologically-influenced' originates from the combination of 'ecology' and 'influence', where 'ecology' refers to the study of organisms and their environment, and 'influence' means the capacity to have an effect on something.

'Ecology' comes from the Greek word 'oikos' meaning 'house' and 'logos' meaning 'study'. 'Influence' comes from the Latin word 'influere', meaning 'to flow into'.

Initially, 'ecology' referred to the study of organisms in their environment, and 'influence' meant to have an effect. Together, they evolved to describe something shaped by ecological factors.
