focus on individual
Etymology
'individual-centered' originates from the combination of 'individual,' derived from Latin 'individuus,' meaning 'indivisible,' and 'centered,' from Old French 'centrer,' meaning 'to place at the center.'
'individual' evolved from the Latin 'individuus' through Old French 'individuel,' and 'centered' from Old French 'centrer,' eventually forming the modern English term 'individual-centered.'
Initially, 'individual' meant 'indivisible entity,' and 'centered' meant 'placed at the center.' Over time, 'individual-centered' evolved to mean focusing on a single person's needs or interests.
