'capability-focused' originates from the English word 'capability,' which comes from the Latin word 'capabilitas,' meaning 'ability to hold or contain,' and 'focus,' from the Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth or fireplace.'

'capability' evolved from the Latin 'capabilitas' through Old French 'capabilité' and Middle English 'capabilite,' while 'focus' remained relatively unchanged from its Latin origin.

Initially, 'capability' meant 'capacity to hold,' but it evolved to mean 'ability or skill,' while 'focus' retained its meaning of 'center of activity or interest.'
