'internet-focused' originates from the combination of 'internet' and 'focused', where 'internet' refers to the global network of interconnected computers, and 'focused' means concentrated or directed attention.

'Internet' was coined in the 1970s as a short form of 'internetwork', and 'focused' comes from the Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace'.

Initially, 'focused' meant 'concentrated on a central point', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
