Etymology
'proportionately-linked' originates from the Latin word 'proportio,' meaning 'relation of parts,' and the Old English word 'hlinc,' meaning 'link or connection.'
'proportio' transformed into the Middle English word 'proporcion,' and 'hlinc' evolved into the modern English word 'link.'
Initially, it meant 'related by parts,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'connected in a balanced way.'
