improvement-focused
Etymology
'enhancement' originates from the Old French word 'enhaucier,' which meant 'to raise or elevate.' 'Oriented' comes from the Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'
'Enhancement' evolved from the Middle English 'enhauncen,' while 'oriented' developed from the Latin 'orientatus.'
Initially, 'enhancement' meant 'to raise in position,' but now it refers to 'improvement or augmentation.' 'Oriented' has maintained its meaning of 'aligned or directed towards.'
