inefficient division
Etymology
'inefficiently-separated' originates from the combination of 'inefficiently' and 'separated', where 'inefficiently' is derived from Latin 'inefficientem', meaning 'not producing the desired effect', and 'separated' from Latin 'separatus', meaning 'to divide'.
'inefficiently' changed from the Latin word 'inefficientem' and 'separated' from 'separatus', eventually forming the modern English term 'inefficiently-separated'.
Initially, 'inefficiently' meant 'not producing the desired effect', and 'separated' meant 'to divide'. Together, they describe a division that lacks efficiency.
