consumer-focused
Etymology
'demand-oriented' originates from the combination of 'demand,' which comes from the Latin word 'demandare,' meaning 'to entrust,' and 'oriented,' derived from the Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'
'demand' evolved from the Old French word 'demander,' and 'oriented' from the Latin 'orientare,' eventually forming the modern English term 'demand-oriented.'
Initially, 'demand' meant 'to entrust or command,' but over time it evolved to mean 'consumer needs,' while 'oriented' maintained its meaning of 'aligned or directed towards.'
