'inefficiently-transported' originates from the combination of 'inefficiently' and 'transported', where 'inefficiently' is derived from 'inefficient', meaning 'not achieving maximum productivity', and 'transported' from 'transport', meaning 'to carry or move from one place to another'.

'Inefficiently' evolved from the Latin word 'inefficientem', and 'transported' from the Latin 'transportare', eventually forming the modern English term 'inefficiently-transported'.

Initially, 'inefficiently' meant 'not producing the desired effect', and 'transported' meant 'carried across'. Over time, the combined term evolved to describe the act of moving something in a less effective manner.
