Etymology
'image-focused' is a compound word formed from 'image' and 'focused'. 'Image' originates from Latin 'imago', meaning 'likeness', and 'focused' comes from Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'center'.
'Image' evolved from Old French 'image', and 'focused' from the Latin 'focus', which was adopted into English in the 17th century.
Initially, 'focus' meant 'hearth' or 'fireplace', but it evolved to mean 'center of activity or interest', which is how it is used in 'image-focused'.
