Etymology
'domestically-oriented' originates from the combination of 'domestic' and 'oriented', where 'domestic' comes from Latin 'domus' meaning 'house' and 'oriented' from Latin 'orientare' meaning 'to arrange'.
'domestic' evolved from the Latin 'domesticus', and 'oriented' from the Latin 'orientare', eventually forming the modern English term 'domestically-oriented'.
Initially, 'domestic' referred to anything related to the home, and 'oriented' meant arranged or directed. Together, they evolved to mean focused on domestic matters.
