pertaining to joints
Etymology
'joint' originates from Old French 'joint,' from Latin 'junctus,' past participle of 'jungere,' meaning 'to join.' 'Related' comes from Latin 'relatus,' past participle of 'referre,' meaning 'to bring back.'
'joint' changed from Old French 'joint' to Middle English 'joynt,' and eventually became the modern English word 'joint.' 'Related' evolved from Latin 'relatus' to Middle English 'relaten,' and eventually became the modern English word 'related.'
Initially, 'joint' meant 'a place where two things are joined,' and 'related' meant 'brought back or connected.' Over time, 'joint-related' evolved to mean 'pertaining to joints.'
