'cloud-focused' originates from the combination of 'cloud,' referring to cloud computing, and 'focused,' meaning concentrated or directed towards a particular goal.

'cloud' in the context of computing evolved from the metaphor of the internet as a cloud, and 'focused' has been used in English since the 17th century to mean concentrated.

Initially, 'cloud' referred to a visible mass of condensed water vapor, but in modern usage, it refers to internet-based computing services.
