Etymology
'internationally-directed' originates from the combination of 'internationally' and 'directed'. 'Internationally' comes from 'international', which is derived from Latin 'inter' meaning 'between' and 'natio' meaning 'nation'. 'Directed' comes from Latin 'directus', meaning 'straight' or 'guided'.
'Internationally-directed' is a modern English term formed by combining 'internationally' and 'directed', reflecting a focus on global matters.
Initially, 'internationally-directed' meant 'guided towards international affairs', and this meaning has remained consistent in modern usage.
