'ineffectively-shown' originates from the combination of 'ineffectively' and 'shown', where 'ineffectively' means 'not producing the desired effect' and 'shown' is the past participle of 'show', meaning 'to display or present'.

'ineffectively' comes from the Latin word 'ineffectivus', and 'shown' is derived from the Old English word 'sceawian', which means 'to look at or see'.

Initially, 'ineffectively' meant 'without effect', and 'shown' meant 'displayed'. Together, they convey the idea of something being displayed without achieving its intended impact.
