abstract-oriented
|ab/stract-or/i/ent/ed|
/ˈæbstrækt ˈɔːriˌɛntɪd/
focus on abstract ideas
Etymology
'abstract-oriented' originates from the combination of 'abstract' and 'oriented', where 'abstract' comes from Latin 'abstractus', meaning 'drawn away', and 'oriented' comes from Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange'.
'abstract' changed from the Latin word 'abstractus' and 'oriented' from 'orientare', eventually forming the modern English term 'abstract-oriented'.
Initially, 'abstract' meant 'drawn away from', and 'oriented' meant 'to arrange', but over time, they combined to describe a focus on abstract ideas.
