Etymology
'comprehension-focused' originates from the combination of 'comprehension' and 'focus', where 'comprehension' meant 'understanding' and 'focus' meant 'center of interest'.
'comprehension' changed from the Latin word 'comprehensio' and 'focus' from the Latin word 'focus', eventually becoming the modern English word 'comprehension-focused'.
Initially, 'comprehension' meant 'grasping with the mind', and 'focus' meant 'hearth or fireplace', but over time they evolved into their current meanings of 'understanding' and 'center of interest'.
