Etymology
The word 'ecologically' is derived from the noun 'ecology', which was coined by German biologist Ernst Haeckel in the late 19th century. Haeckel used the term to describe the study of the relationships between living organisms and their environment. Over time, 'ecologically' has come to be used to describe actions, practices, or concepts that are in harmony with the natural environment and aim to minimize negative impacts on ecosystems.
