Etymology
Etymology Information

'idea-focused' originates from the combination of 'idea' and 'focused', where 'idea' comes from Greek 'idea' meaning 'form, pattern', and 'focused' from Latin 'focus' meaning 'hearth, fireplace'.

Historical Evolution

'idea' changed from the Greek word 'idea' to the Latin 'idea', and eventually became the modern English word 'idea'. 'Focused' evolved from the Latin 'focus' to the English 'focus', and then to 'focused'.

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'idea' meant 'form or pattern', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a thought or suggestion'. 'Focused' has largely retained its meaning of 'concentrated attention'.
