distinctly-related
|dis-tinct-ly-re-lat-ed|
/dɪˈstɪŋktli rɪˈleɪtɪd/
clearly connected
Etymology
'distinctly-related' originates from the combination of 'distinctly' and 'related'. 'Distinctly' comes from Latin 'distinctus', meaning 'separated', and 'related' comes from Latin 'relatus', meaning 'brought back'.
'distinctly' changed from the Latin word 'distinctus' and 'related' from 'relatus', eventually forming the modern English term 'distinctly-related'.
Initially, 'distinctly' meant 'separated' and 'related' meant 'brought back', but over time they evolved to mean 'clearly' and 'connected', respectively.
