'execution-driven' originates from the combination of 'execution' and 'driven,' where 'execution' refers to the act of carrying out a plan or task, and 'driven' implies being motivated or propelled by a specific force or goal.

'Execution' comes from the Latin word 'executio,' meaning 'to carry out,' and 'driven' is derived from the Old English 'drifan,' meaning 'to drive or propel.'

Initially, 'execution' meant 'to carry out a task,' and 'driven' meant 'propelled by a force.' Together, they evolved to describe a focus on task completion.
