'frontend-focused' originates from the combination of 'frontend' and 'focused', where 'frontend' refers to the part of a website or application that users interact with directly, and 'focused' means concentrated on a particular area.

'frontend' evolved from the term 'front end', which was used in computing to describe the part of a system that interacts with the user, while 'focused' has remained consistent in meaning.

Initially, 'frontend' referred to the visible part of a system, and 'focused' meant concentrated. Together, they now specifically refer to a concentration on the user interface and experience.
