related to reforestation
Etymology
'reforestation-related' originates from the combination of 'reforestation' and the suffix '-related', where 'reforestation' refers to the process of planting trees in a deforested area, and '-related' indicates a connection or association.
'reforestation' comes from the Latin 're-' meaning 'again' and 'forestis' meaning 'of the forest'. The term 'related' is derived from the Latin 'relatus', the past participle of 'referre', meaning 'to bring back'.
Initially, 'reforestation' meant 'to plant trees again', and 'related' meant 'connected'. Together, they evolved to mean 'pertaining to the process of planting trees again'.
