Etymology
'cash-focused' originates from the English word 'cash' combined with 'focused', where 'cash' meant 'money in the form of coins or banknotes' and 'focused' meant 'concentrated on a particular point or task'.
'cash' changed from the Old French word 'casse' and eventually became the modern English word 'cash'. 'Focused' comes from the Latin word 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace', and evolved to mean 'center of activity or interest'.
Initially, 'cash' meant 'money in physical form', and 'focused' meant 'concentrated'. Together, they evolved to mean 'oriented towards cash transactions'.
