Etymology
'experience-oriented' originates from the combination of 'experience' and 'oriented', where 'experience' comes from Latin 'experientia', meaning 'trial, experiment', and 'oriented' from Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.
'experience' evolved from Middle English 'experience', from Old French 'experience', from Latin 'experientia'. 'Oriented' evolved from Middle English 'orienten', from Old French 'orienter', from Latin 'orientare'.
Initially, 'experience' meant 'knowledge gained through trials', and 'oriented' meant 'aligned towards'. Together, they evolved to mean 'focused on personal experiences'.
