Etymology
The term 'internationally-focused' combines 'internationally,' derived from 'international,' which originates from the Latin 'inter' meaning 'between' and 'natio' meaning 'nation,' with 'focused,' from the Latin 'focus' meaning 'hearth' or 'center.'
'Internationally' evolved from the concept of 'between nations,' while 'focused' transitioned from the idea of a central point of attention.
Initially, 'internationally' meant 'between nations,' and 'focused' meant 'centered on a point.' Together, they now imply a concentration on global matters.
