'collective-focused' originates from the English word 'collective,' which comes from the Latin word 'collectivus,' meaning 'gathered together,' and 'focused,' from the Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth' or 'center.'

'collectivus' transformed into the Old French word 'collectif,' and eventually became the modern English word 'collective.' 'Focus' remained largely unchanged from Latin to English.

Initially, 'collective' meant 'gathered together,' and 'focused' meant 'centered on a point.' Over time, 'collective-focused' evolved to mean concentrating on the group as a whole.
