'modernly-linked' originates from the combination of 'modernly,' derived from 'modern,' and 'linked,' from the Old English 'hlincian,' meaning 'to join or connect.'

'modernly' evolved from 'modern,' which came from the Latin 'modernus,' and 'linked' from the Old English 'hlincian,' eventually forming the compound adjective 'modernly-linked.'

Initially, 'modernly' meant 'in a modern manner,' and 'linked' meant 'connected.' Together, they evolved to describe something connected in a contemporary way.
