'pastoral-loving' originates from the English word 'pastoral,' which comes from the Latin word 'pastoralis,' meaning 'of or pertaining to shepherds,' combined with 'loving,' which comes from the Old English 'lufian,' meaning 'to love.'

'pastoralis' transformed into the English word 'pastoral,' and 'lufian' evolved into 'loving,' eventually forming the modern English compound word 'pastoral-loving.'

Initially, 'pastoral' meant 'related to shepherds,' but over time it evolved to include a broader sense of rural life, and 'loving' has consistently meant 'having affection for.'
