Etymology
Clean-living combines clean ('free from dirt or bad things') and living ('way of life'), so it paints a simple picture of someone who keeps their life pure by avoiding drinking, smoking, or drugs. Like saying someone has a 'clean record', clean-living means living without bad habits and often acting in a moral and healthy way.
