'consumer-focused' originates from the combination of 'consumer' and 'focused', where 'consumer' refers to a person who purchases goods and services, and 'focused' means concentrated on a particular point or task.

'consumer' comes from the Latin word 'consumere', meaning 'to use up', and 'focused' is derived from the Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace'.

Initially, 'consumer-focused' meant concentrating on the act of consumption, but it evolved to mean prioritizing consumer needs and preferences.
