guided by consumer preferences
Etymology
The term 'consumer-driven' combines 'consumer,' originating from Latin 'consumere,' meaning 'to use up,' and 'driven,' from Old English 'drifan,' meaning 'to drive.'
'Consumer' evolved from the Latin 'consumere' through Old French 'consommer,' while 'driven' evolved from Old English 'drifan.'
Initially, 'consumer' meant 'one who uses up,' and 'driven' meant 'propelled.' Together, they now imply being guided by consumer preferences.
