'vine-related' is a modern English compound formed from the noun 'vine' + the adjective/participle 'related' to mean 'related to vines'. It is a descriptive compound coined in modern usage to specify association with vines.

'related' comes from Latin 'relatus' (past participle of 'referre') via Old French/Middle English forms and entered modern English as 'related'; 'vine' comes from Latin 'vinea' (vineyard) via Old French 'vigne' into Middle English 'vine'. The compound itself is a recent concatenation of these two elements in Modern English.

Individually, 'vine' originally referred especially to vineyard or grapevine and 'related' was the past participle of 'relate'; when combined as 'vine-related' the meaning specialized to 'connected with or affecting vines' in modern descriptive usage.
