business-centered
Etymology
'commercially-focused' originates from the word 'commercial,' which comes from Latin 'commercium,' meaning 'trade' or 'commerce,' combined with 'focus,' from Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth' or 'center.'
'commercial' evolved from the Latin 'commercium' through Old French 'comercial,' and 'focus' retained its Latin form, eventually combining in modern English to form 'commercially-focused.'
Initially, 'commercial' meant 'pertaining to trade,' and 'focus' meant 'center of activity.' Over time, 'commercially-focused' evolved to mean 'centered on business activities.'
