'achievement-focused' originates from the combination of 'achievement' and 'focused', where 'achievement' comes from the Old French 'achevement', meaning 'completion', and 'focused' derives from the Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'center'.

'achievement' evolved from the Old French 'achevement' and 'focused' from the Latin 'focus', eventually forming the modern English term 'achievement-focused'.

Initially, 'achievement' meant 'completion of a task', and 'focused' meant 'centered'. Together, they evolved to mean 'concentrated on achieving goals'.
