'outdoor-loving' originates from the combination of 'outdoor' and 'loving', where 'outdoor' refers to activities or environments outside, and 'loving' indicates a strong preference or affection.

The term 'outdoor-loving' evolved from the combination of 'outdoor', which has been used since the 18th century to describe activities outside, and 'loving', which has been used since Old English to describe affection or preference.

Initially, 'outdoor-loving' simply described a preference for outdoor activities, and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
