Etymology
'insufficiency-related' originates from the combination of 'insufficiency' and 'related', where 'insufficiency' comes from Latin 'insufficientia', meaning 'not enough', and 'related' comes from Latin 'relatus', meaning 'brought back'.
'insufficiency' changed from the Latin word 'insufficientia' and eventually became the modern English word 'insufficiency'. 'Related' evolved from the Latin 'relatus' through Old French 'relater'.
Initially, 'insufficiency' meant 'not enough', and 'related' meant 'brought back'. Over time, 'insufficiency-related' evolved to mean 'pertaining to a lack of adequacy'.
