Etymology
'individual-oriented' originates from the combination of 'individual,' which comes from Latin 'individuus,' meaning 'indivisible,' and 'oriented,' from Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'
'Individual' evolved from the Latin 'individuus' through Old French 'individual,' while 'oriented' came from Latin 'orientare' through Middle French 'orienter.'
Initially, 'individual' meant 'indivisible,' but it evolved to mean 'pertaining to a single person.' 'Oriented' has maintained its meaning of 'aligned or directed towards.'
