'streamlinable' originates from the English word 'streamline', which is derived from the combination of 'stream' and 'line', where 'stream' refers to a continuous flow and 'line' suggests a direct path.

'streamline' evolved from the concept of creating a smooth path for air or water to flow around an object, eventually becoming a metaphor for making processes more efficient.

Initially, 'streamline' referred to the design of objects to reduce resistance, but over time it evolved into its current meaning of making processes more efficient.
