'company-oriented' originates from the combination of 'company,' which comes from the Old French 'compaignie,' meaning 'society, friendship, intimacy,' and 'oriented,' derived from the Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'

'company' evolved from the Old French 'compaignie' to the modern English 'company,' while 'oriented' transformed from the Latin 'orientare' to the modern English 'oriented.'

Initially, 'company' referred to a group of people, but over time it evolved to mean a business entity. 'Oriented' has maintained its meaning of alignment or focus.
