Etymology
'globally-focused' originates from the combination of 'global' and 'focus', where 'global' comes from Latin 'globus' meaning 'sphere' and 'focus' from Latin 'focus' meaning 'hearth' or 'center'.
'globus' transformed into the French word 'global', and eventually became the modern English word 'global'. 'Focus' retained its form from Latin to modern English.
Initially, 'focus' meant 'hearth' or 'center', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'concentration or emphasis'.
