Etymology
'appreciation-focused' originates from the English word 'appreciation,' which comes from the Latin word 'appretiatio,' meaning 'estimation' or 'valuation,' combined with 'focused,' derived from the Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth' or 'center.'
'appreciation' evolved from the Latin 'appretiatio' through Old French 'apreciacion,' and 'focused' from Latin 'focus' through Middle English 'focussed.'
Initially, 'appreciation' meant 'estimation of value,' but over time it evolved to include 'recognition of worth or quality.'
