'frost-related' originates from the combination of 'frost' and the suffix '-related', where 'frost' refers to the freezing of water vapor and '-related' indicates a connection or association.

'Frost' comes from Old English 'forst', and '-related' is derived from the Latin 'relatus', meaning 'brought back'.

Initially, 'frost' referred to the natural phenomenon of freezing, and '-related' has consistently meant 'connected to'.
