Etymology
'debt-oriented' originates from the combination of 'debt' and 'oriented', where 'debt' refers to an obligation to pay money and 'oriented' means directed towards a particular goal or focus.
'debt' comes from the Old French word 'dette', which evolved from the Latin 'debitum', meaning 'something owed'. 'Oriented' is derived from the Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or direct'.
Initially, 'debt' meant 'something owed', and 'oriented' meant 'directed towards'. Together, they evolved to describe a focus on financial obligations.
