Etymology
'comprehension-oriented' originates from the combination of 'comprehension' and 'oriented', where 'comprehension' means 'the ability to understand something' and 'oriented' means 'directed towards a particular goal or focus'.
'Comprehension' comes from the Latin word 'comprehensio', and 'oriented' is derived from the Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.
Initially, 'comprehension' meant 'grasping with the mind', and 'oriented' meant 'aligned towards the east'. Over time, 'oriented' evolved to mean 'directed towards a specific goal', leading to the modern meaning of 'comprehension-oriented'.
