'logging' originates from the word 'log,' which comes from the Old Norse word 'lág,' meaning 'a felled tree.' 'Related' comes from the Latin word 'relatus,' meaning 'brought back.'

'logging' evolved from the Old Norse 'lág' to the Middle English 'logge,' and 'related' evolved from the Latin 'relatus' to the Middle English 'relaten.'

Initially, 'logging' referred to the act of cutting trees, and 'related' meant 'connected.' The combined term 'logging-related' now specifically refers to activities associated with logging.
