'development-driven' originates from the combination of 'development' and 'driven,' where 'development' refers to the process of growth or improvement, and 'driven' implies being motivated or propelled by something.

'Development' comes from the Old French 'desvoloper,' meaning 'to unwrap' or 'unfold,' while 'driven' is the past participle of 'drive,' from Old English 'drīfan.'

Initially, 'development' meant 'unfolding' or 'unwrapping,' but over time it evolved to mean 'growth' or 'progress.'
