Etymology
'archive-oriented' originates from the English word 'archive,' which comes from the Greek word 'arkheion,' meaning 'public records.' The suffix '-oriented' is derived from the Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'
'archive' changed from the Greek word 'arkheion' to the Latin 'archivum,' and eventually became the modern English word 'archive.'
Initially, 'archive' meant 'a place for public records,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a collection of historical documents or records.'
