'import-focused' originates from the combination of 'import' and 'focused', where 'import' comes from Latin 'importare', meaning 'to bring in', and 'focused' from Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'center'.

'importare' transformed into the English word 'import', and 'focus' evolved into 'focused', eventually forming the modern English term 'import-focused'.

Initially, 'import' meant 'to bring in goods', and 'focused' meant 'centered on'. Together, they evolved to mean 'centered on imports'.
