Etymology
The term 'international-oriented' combines 'international,' originating from Latin 'inter' meaning 'between' and 'natio' meaning 'nation,' with 'oriented,' from Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'
'International' evolved from the Latin 'inter' and 'natio,' while 'oriented' came from 'orientare,' eventually forming the modern English term 'international-oriented.'
Initially, 'international' meant 'between nations,' and 'oriented' meant 'aligned.' Together, they evolved to mean 'focused on international matters.'
