'effectively designed' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives occasionally define each other.

'make comer go in' is the wordplay.
'make' indicates anagramming the letters.
'comer'+'go'+'in'='comergoin'
'comergoin' with letters rearranged gives 'ERGONOMIC'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
