emotion-focused
Etymology
'emotion-oriented' originates from the combination of 'emotion' and 'oriented', where 'emotion' comes from the Latin word 'emotio', meaning 'a moving, stirring, agitation', and 'oriented' comes from the Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.
'emotion' evolved from the Old French 'emouvoir', which meant 'to stir up', and 'oriented' from the Latin 'orientare', which meant 'to arrange'.
Initially, 'emotion' referred to physical movement or agitation, but over time it evolved to mean feelings or sentiments, while 'oriented' maintained its meaning of alignment or focus.
