'departure-focused' is a modern English compound formed from the noun 'departure' and the adjective 'focused'. 'Departure' is an English noun related to the verb 'depart'; 'focused' is the past-participle/adjective form of the verb 'focus'.

'departure' comes from Old French 'depart' / 'departir' (to part, to divide) and ultimately from Latin elements meaning 'apart' + 'to part'; 'focus' is a Latin word 'focus' (meaning 'hearth') later adopted into English with the transferred sense of 'point of attention'. These elements combined in contemporary English to create the compound adjective 'departure-focused'.

Individually, 'depart' historically meant 'to part or go away' and 'focus' meant originally 'hearth' but later 'point of attention'; combined as 'departure-focused' the compound now means 'having attention or emphasis on leaving' in contexts such as schedules, planning, or priorities.
