'domestically-directed' originates from the combination of 'domestic,' which comes from Latin 'domesticus,' meaning 'of the home,' and 'directed,' from Latin 'directus,' meaning 'straight or guided.'

'domesticus' transformed into the Old French 'domestique,' and eventually became the modern English word 'domestic.' Similarly, 'directus' evolved into the Old French 'directer,' leading to the modern English 'directed.'

Initially, 'domestic' meant 'of the home,' and 'directed' meant 'guided.' Over time, 'domestically-directed' evolved to mean 'focused on domestic affairs.'
