'consumer-influenced' originates from the combination of 'consumer' and 'influenced', where 'consumer' refers to a person who purchases goods and services, and 'influenced' means affected or changed by something.

'Consumer' comes from the Latin word 'consumere', meaning 'to use up', and 'influenced' comes from the Latin word 'influere', meaning 'to flow into'.

Initially, 'consumer-influenced' meant being affected by consumer actions, and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
