'gratitude-oriented' originates from the English word 'gratitude' combined with the suffix '-oriented', where 'gratitude' means 'thankfulness' and '-oriented' means 'focused on'.

'gratitude' comes from the Latin word 'gratus', meaning 'pleasing' or 'thankful', and '-oriented' is derived from the Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.

Initially, 'gratitude' meant 'thankfulness', and '-oriented' meant 'aligned towards'. Together, they evolved to mean 'focused on thankfulness'.
