'health-oriented' originates from the combination of 'health' and the suffix '-oriented', where 'health' refers to the state of being free from illness or injury, and '-oriented' means directed towards a particular goal or focus.

'health-oriented' evolved from the combination of the words 'health' and 'oriented', which were used separately in Middle English and later combined in modern English to describe a focus on health.

Initially, it meant 'directed towards health', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
