Etymology
'interpretation-oriented' originates from the combination of 'interpretation' and 'oriented', where 'interpretation' comes from Latin 'interpretatio', meaning 'explanation', and 'oriented' from Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.
'interpretation' evolved from Latin 'interpretatio' through Old French 'interpretation', and 'oriented' from Latin 'orientare' through Middle French 'orienter'.
Initially, 'interpretation' meant 'explanation or translation', and 'oriented' meant 'aligned or directed'. Together, they evolved to mean 'focused on explaining or understanding'.
