'nerve-related' originates from the combination of 'nerve' and the suffix '-related', where 'nerve' refers to the fibers that transmit impulses in the body, and '-related' indicates association.

'nerve' comes from the Latin word 'nervus', and '-related' is derived from the Old French 'relier', meaning 'to bind'.

Initially, 'nerve' referred to sinews or tendons, but over time it evolved to mean the fibers that transmit impulses in the body.
