Etymology
'cognitive-focused' originates from the combination of 'cognitive,' which comes from Latin 'cognitīvus,' meaning 'pertaining to knowledge,' and 'focused,' from Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth' or 'center.'
'cognitive' evolved from the Latin 'cognitīvus' through Old French 'cognitif,' while 'focused' developed from the Latin 'focus' through Middle English 'focussed.'
Initially, 'cognitive' referred to knowledge or understanding, while 'focused' meant centered or concentrated. Together, they now imply a concentration on mental processes.
