Etymology
'devaluation' originates from the Latin word 'de-' meaning 'down' and 'valere' meaning 'to be worth'. 'Focused' comes from the Latin 'focus' meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace', which evolved to mean 'center of activity or interest'.
'Devaluation' evolved from the French 'dévaluer', while 'focused' evolved from the Latin 'focus'.
Initially, 'devaluation' meant 'lowering value', and 'focused' meant 'centered on a point'. These meanings have largely remained the same.
