Etymology
Pastoralism comes from the Latin root pastor, which means 'shepherd', and the ending -ism, which means 'a way' or 'practice'. Think of pasture, land where animals eat: pastoralism is the practice of raising and herding animals, often moving them to new grazing land, so the origin explains the modern meaning.
