Etymology
'globally-minded' originates from the combination of 'global' and 'mind,' where 'global' refers to the entire world and 'mind' refers to one's awareness or consciousness.
'global' evolved from the Latin word 'globus,' meaning 'sphere,' and 'mind' from the Old English 'gemynd,' meaning 'memory' or 'thought.'
Initially, 'global' referred to something spherical, but it evolved to mean 'worldwide,' and 'mind' has retained its meaning of awareness or thought.
