present-related
|pre-sent-re-lat-ed|
/ˈprɛzənt rɪˈleɪtɪd/
connected to the present
Etymology
'present-related' originates from English, specifically by combining the adjective 'present' and the past-participial adjective 'related'.
'present' comes from Latin 'praesens' (via Old French and Middle English) meaning 'being at hand', while 'related' derives from Latin 'relatus' (past participle of 'referre') via Old French and Middle English; the compound 'present-related' is a modern English formation combining these elements to form a descriptive compound.
Initially, the components meant 'being at hand' ('present') and 'brought back/connected' ('related'); combined in modern usage they mean 'having a connection to the present (time) or to a present (gift)', a straightforward compositional meaning.
