Etymology
'countryside-focused' is a compound word formed from 'countryside' and 'focused'. 'Countryside' originates from Middle English 'countrie' and 'side', where 'countrie' meant 'land' and 'side' referred to 'area'. 'Focused' comes from Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'center'.
'Countrie' transformed into 'country' in modern English, and 'focus' was adopted from Latin into English in the 17th century.
Initially, 'focus' meant 'hearth' or 'center', but over time it evolved to mean 'concentration or emphasis'.
