'goods-oriented' originates from the English word 'goods,' which refers to tangible products, combined with 'oriented,' meaning directed towards or focused on.

'Goods' comes from the Old English word 'gōd,' meaning 'property' or 'possession,' while 'oriented' is derived from the Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or direct.'

Initially, 'goods' referred to any tangible property, and 'oriented' meant directed towards a specific direction. Together, they evolved to describe a focus on tangible products.
