'valuation-related' is a modern English compound formed from 'valuation' and 'related'. 'valuation' comes from English formation of 'value' + the suffix '-ation'; 'value' derives from Old French 'value' (from Latin 'valēre'), where 'valēre' meant 'to be worth'. 'related' comes from Latin 'relatus' (the past participle of 'referre') via Old French and Middle English, where 'relatus' carried senses of 'brought back' and 'connected'.

'valuation' developed in English from Old French 'value' plus the productive suffix '-ation' to form a noun meaning 'the act or process of determining value'; 'related' evolved from Latin 'relatus' through Old French and Middle English into the modern English adjective. The compound 'valuation-related' is a recent, descriptive formation used in technical, financial, and legal contexts.

Initially, 'value' primarily meant 'to be worth' and 'relatus' implied 'brought back' or 'referred'; over time the components combined in modern English to form 'valuation-related', meaning 'pertaining to valuation' or 'connected with an appraisal'.
