'employer-focused' originates from the combination of 'employer' and 'focused', where 'employer' refers to a person or organization that hires people, and 'focused' means concentrated on a particular aim or task.

'employer' comes from the Old French word 'employeur', and 'focused' is derived from the Latin word 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace'.

Initially, 'focused' meant 'concentrated on a central point', but over time it evolved to mean 'concentrated on a specific aim or task'.
