The term "efficient" functions as a versatile descriptor in literary discourse, often emphasizing performance and the underlying causes of phenomena. In narrative and historical texts alike, it characterizes both individuals and processes as proficient, whether referring to swift, effective actors [1] or skilled officers and organized staffs [2][3]. Philosophical and scientific writings extend its usage to denote the causal principles behind events, discussing efficient causes in nature and creation [4][5][6]. The word also surfaces in discussions of social and political systems, where efficient methods, organizations, or even educational practices are highlighted to achieve desirable outcomes [7][8][9]. Whether used to praise the promptness of military campaigns [10][11] or to critique flawed administrative mechanisms [12], "efficient" imbues the subject with a sense of optimal function and purposeful design, contributing varied layers of meaning across genres [13][14].
