'community-focused' is a compound word formed from 'community' and 'focused'. 'Community' originates from Latin 'communitas', meaning 'common, public, shared by all or many'. 'Focused' comes from Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth, fireplace'.

'Community' evolved from Old French 'communité', and 'focused' from Latin 'focus', both merging in modern English to form 'community-focused'.

Initially, 'community' meant 'a group of people living together', and 'focused' meant 'concentrated'. Together, they evolved to mean 'emphasizing community needs'.
