'pollinator-supportive' originates from the combination of 'pollinator' and 'supportive', where 'pollinator' refers to an agent that carries pollen and 'supportive' means providing assistance or encouragement.

'pollinator' comes from the Latin word 'pollinātor', and 'supportive' is derived from the Old French 'suportif', which eventually became the modern English word 'supportive'.

Initially, 'pollinator' referred specifically to the act of pollination, but over time it has come to include the agents involved in the process, while 'supportive' has maintained its meaning of providing assistance.
