'internationally-minded' originates from the combination of 'internationally' and 'minded', where 'internationally' refers to 'between or among nations' and 'minded' refers to 'having a particular mindset or inclination'.

'Internationally-minded' evolved from the concept of 'international' and 'mind', reflecting a growing awareness of global interconnectedness.

Initially, it meant 'having a mindset focused on international matters', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
