Etymology
'ineffectively-merged' originates from the combination of 'ineffectively' and 'merged'. 'Ineffectively' comes from the Latin 'ineffectivus', meaning 'not producing the desired effect', and 'merged' comes from the Latin 'mergere', meaning 'to dip or plunge'.
The term 'ineffectively-merged' evolved from the need to describe unsuccessful combinations in modern organizational contexts.
Initially, 'ineffectively' meant 'without producing the desired effect', and 'merged' meant 'combined'. Together, they describe a combination that fails to achieve its intended purpose.
