focused on domestic matters
Etymology
'domestically-focused' originates from the word 'domestic,' which comes from Latin 'domesticus,' meaning 'of the home,' combined with 'focus,' from Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace.'
'Domesticus' transformed into the Old French 'domestique,' and eventually became the modern English word 'domestic.' 'Focus' retained its form from Latin to English.
Initially, 'domestic' meant 'of the home,' but over time it evolved to include matters within a country. 'Focus' has largely retained its original meaning of 'center of interest.'
