'documentation-oriented' originates from the English word 'documentation' combined with the suffix '-oriented', where 'documentation' refers to the process of providing documents and '-oriented' means focused or directed towards.

'Documentation' comes from the Latin word 'documentum', meaning 'lesson or example', and '-oriented' is derived from the Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.

Initially, 'documentation' referred to the act of providing documents, but in modern usage, it emphasizes the importance of thorough record-keeping.
