Etymology
'proportionately-connected' originates from the Latin word 'proportio', meaning 'relation of parts', and the Latin word 'connectere', meaning 'to bind together'.
'proportio' transformed into the Old French word 'proportion', and 'connectere' became the Middle English word 'connect', eventually forming the modern English term 'proportionately-connected'.
Initially, it meant 'related in size or amount', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'having a balanced relationship'.
