The word "related" originates from the Latin verb referre (to bring back), composed of re- (back) and ferre (to carry). Over time, late evolved from the past participle latus (brought), and the suffix -ed was added to form the adjective. The term initially described things "brought back" into connection, later expanding to familial and logical associations.
