'gratitude-focused' originates from the English word 'gratitude,' which comes from the Latin word 'gratitudo,' meaning 'thankfulness,' and 'focus,' from the Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth' or 'center.'

'gratitude' evolved from the Latin 'gratitudo' through Old French 'gratitudo' and Middle English 'gratitūd,' while 'focus' remained relatively unchanged from Latin to modern English.

Initially, 'gratitude' meant 'thankfulness,' and 'focus' meant 'center,' which combined to form a modern term emphasizing a central theme of thankfulness.
