Etymology
'ecologically-neutral' originates from 'ecology' and 'neutral', where 'ecology' refers to the study of organisms and their environment, and 'neutral' means not favoring either side.
'ecology' comes from the Greek word 'oikos' meaning 'house' and 'logos' meaning 'study'. 'Neutral' comes from the Latin word 'neutralis', meaning 'of neither gender'.
Initially, 'neutral' meant 'of neither gender', but over time it evolved to mean 'impartial' or 'not affecting'.
