not suitable for web use
Etymology
'non-web-compatible' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not,' combined with 'web,' referring to the World Wide Web, and 'compatible,' from Latin 'compatibilis,' meaning 'capable of existing together in harmony.'
The term 'compatible' evolved from the Latin 'compatibilis,' through Old French 'compatible,' and into modern English as 'compatible.' The prefix 'non-' was added to denote the opposite meaning.
Initially, 'compatible' meant 'capable of existing together in harmony,' and with the addition of 'non-' and 'web,' it evolved to mean 'not suitable for web use.'
