Etymology
'organ-related' originates from the word 'organ,' which comes from the Greek word 'organon,' meaning 'instrument' or 'tool,' combined with 'related,' from the Latin 'relatus,' meaning 'brought back.'
'organ' changed from the Greek word 'organon' to the Latin 'organum,' and eventually became the modern English word 'organ.'
Initially, 'organ' referred to a tool or instrument, but over time it evolved to refer to a part of a living organism with a specific function.
