focus on capital
Etymology
'capital-oriented' originates from the word 'capital,' which comes from the Latin 'capitalis,' meaning 'of the head,' and 'oriented,' from the Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'
'Capital' evolved from the Latin 'capitalis' through Old French 'capitale' to the modern English 'capital.' 'Oriented' evolved from the Latin 'orientare' through Middle French 'orienter' to the modern English 'oriented.'
Initially, 'capital' referred to the head or top of something, but over time it evolved to mean financial assets or resources. 'Oriented' has maintained its meaning of alignment or direction.
