The term 'substance' comes from the Latin word 'substantia', meaning 'essence' or 'being'. The suffix '-related' is derived from the Latin 'relatus', meaning 'brought back'.
Initially, 'substance' referred to the essential nature of something, but in modern usage, it often refers to physical materials or drugs.
