Etymology
'womb-related' originates from the English word 'womb' combined with the suffix '-related', where 'womb' refers to the organ in female mammals where offspring are conceived and develop before birth.
'womb' comes from Old English 'wamb', which meant 'belly' or 'stomach', and '-related' is a modern English suffix used to indicate association or connection.
Initially, 'womb' referred to the belly or stomach, but over time it evolved to specifically mean the organ in female mammals where offspring develop.
