Etymology
'city-focused' originates from the English word 'city' combined with 'focused', where 'city' refers to a large town and 'focused' means concentrated or directed.
'City' comes from the Old French word 'cite', which in turn comes from the Latin 'civitas', meaning 'citizenship' or 'community'. 'Focused' comes from the Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace', which evolved to mean 'center of activity'.
Initially, 'focus' meant 'hearth' or 'fireplace', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'center of activity'.
