'extrinsically-driven' originates from the Latin word 'extrinsecus,' meaning 'from outside,' combined with 'drive,' which comes from Old English 'drīfan,' meaning 'to force to move.'

'extrinsecus' transformed into the English word 'extrinsic,' and 'drīfan' evolved into 'drive,' eventually forming the modern term 'extrinsically-driven.'

Initially, 'extrinsic' meant 'external,' and 'drive' meant 'to force to move.' Over time, 'extrinsically-driven' evolved to mean being motivated by external factors.
