'inquisitive' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'inquisitivus,' where 'in-' meant 'into' and 'quaerere' meant 'to seek.' 'Driven' comes from Old English 'drifan,' meaning 'to drive or propel.'

'Inquisitive' evolved from the Latin 'inquisitivus' through Old French 'inquisitif,' and 'driven' from Old English 'drifan.'

Initially, 'inquisitive' meant 'seeking or searching,' and 'driven' meant 'propelled or motivated.' The combined term 'inquisitive-driven' retains these meanings, emphasizing a curiosity-driven motivation.
