'farm-oriented' originates from the combination of 'farm' and the suffix '-oriented', where 'farm' refers to agricultural land and '-oriented' means directed towards or focused on.

'farm' comes from the Old English word 'feorm', meaning provision or food supply, and '-oriented' is derived from the Latin 'orientare', meaning to arrange or direct.

Initially, 'farm' referred to a place for food production, and '-oriented' meant directed towards. Together, they evolved to mean focused on farming activities.
