'modernly-fragmented' originates from the combination of 'modernly' and 'fragmented'. 'Modernly' is derived from 'modern', which comes from Latin 'modernus', meaning 'of today'. 'Fragmented' comes from Latin 'fragmentum', meaning 'a piece or part'.

'modernly' evolved from 'modern', which was used in Middle English as 'moderne'. 'Fragmented' evolved from 'fragment', which was used in Middle English as 'fragment' and eventually became 'fragmented'.

Initially, 'modernly' meant 'in a modern way', and 'fragmented' meant 'broken into pieces'. Together, they describe something broken in a contemporary context.
