'shape-related' originates from the English word 'shape' combined with the suffix '-related', where 'shape' meant 'form or outline' and '-related' meant 'connected to'.

'Shape' comes from the Old English word 'gesceap', meaning 'form or creation', and '-related' is derived from the Latin 'relatus', meaning 'brought back'.

Initially, 'shape' meant 'form or creation', and '-related' meant 'connected to'. Over time, 'shape-related' evolved to specifically mean 'pertaining to the form or outline of an object'.
