'ineffectively-changed' originates from the combination of 'ineffectively' and 'changed'. 'Ineffectively' comes from the Latin 'ineffectivus', meaning 'not producing the desired effect', and 'changed' is derived from the Old French 'changier', meaning 'to alter'.

'Ineffectively' evolved from the Latin 'ineffectivus' through Middle English, while 'changed' transformed from the Old French 'changier' to the modern English 'change'.

Initially, 'ineffectively' meant 'not producing the desired effect', and 'changed' meant 'to alter'. The combined term 'ineffectively-changed' retains these meanings, describing an alteration that fails to achieve its intended purpose.
