'web-incompatible' originates from the combination of 'web,' referring to the World Wide Web, and 'incompatible,' from Latin 'incompatibilis,' where 'in-' meant 'not' and 'compatibilis' meant 'compatible.'

'incompatibilis' transformed into the English word 'incompatible,' and eventually combined with 'web' to form the modern term 'web-incompatible.'

Initially, 'incompatible' meant 'not able to exist together,' and this meaning has evolved to include technological contexts, such as 'web-incompatible.'
