Etymology
'ineffectively-displayed' originates from the combination of 'ineffectively' and 'displayed'. 'Ineffectively' comes from 'in-' meaning 'not' and 'effective' meaning 'producing a desired result'. 'Displayed' comes from 'display', which originates from the Old French 'despleier', meaning 'to unfold'.
'Ineffectively' evolved from the Latin 'ineffectivus', while 'displayed' evolved from the Old French 'despleier'.
Initially, 'display' meant 'to unfold', but over time it evolved to mean 'to show or exhibit'.
