Etymology
'interpretation-focused' originates from the combination of 'interpretation' and 'focused', where 'interpretation' comes from Latin 'interpretatio', meaning 'explanation', and 'focused' from Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'center'.
'interpretation' evolved from the Latin 'interpretatio' through Old French 'interpretation', and 'focused' from Latin 'focus', eventually forming the modern English compound 'interpretation-focused'.
Initially, 'interpretation' meant 'explanation or translation', and 'focused' meant 'centered'. Together, they evolved to mean 'centered on explanation'.
