Morphology
related + to
The meaning 'connected with' is directly and transparently derived from 'related' (linked or associated) combined with the preposition 'to' indicating the target of that relation; a learner who knows both constituents can infer the phrase's meaning. This adjective + preposition pattern is common and productive in English (and across many languages), so the expression is immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Related to comes from the picture of a family tree: relatives are joined by branches, so people are related to each other. That's why we use related to today when one thing is 'connected' or very similar to another.
