'commerce-oriented' originates from the combination of 'commerce,' which comes from Latin 'commercium,' meaning 'trade,' and 'oriented,' from Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or direct.'
'commerce' evolved from the Latin 'commercium' through Old French 'commerce,' and 'oriented' from Latin 'orientare' through French 'orienter.'
Initially, 'commerce' meant 'trade or exchange of goods,' and 'oriented' meant 'directed towards.' Together, they evolved to mean 'focused on commercial activities.'
