cost-effective production
Etymology
'economically-produced' originates from the combination of 'economic' and 'produce,' where 'economic' is derived from the Greek word 'oikonomikos,' meaning 'household management,' and 'produce' comes from the Latin 'producere,' meaning 'to bring forth.'
'economically' changed from the Old French word 'economique' and eventually became the modern English word 'economic,' while 'produce' evolved from the Latin 'producere' to the modern English 'produce.'
Initially, 'economic' meant 'pertaining to household management,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'related to the economy or cost-effectiveness.'
