'care-linked' originates from the English words 'care' and 'link,' where 'care' meant 'attention or concern' and 'link' meant 'connection or association.'

'care' and 'link' have been used in English since the Middle Ages, and the compound form 'care-linked' emerged in modern English to describe associations with care.

Initially, 'care' meant 'attention or concern,' and 'link' meant 'connection.' The compound 'care-linked' evolved to specifically denote connections in caregiving contexts.
