Etymology
'investment-focused' originates from the combination of 'investment' and 'focused', where 'investment' comes from the Latin word 'investire', meaning 'to clothe', and 'focused' comes from the Latin word 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace'.
'investment' evolved from the Latin 'investire' through Old French 'investir', and 'focused' evolved from the Latin 'focus' through Middle English 'focussed'.
Initially, 'investment' meant 'to clothe', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'allocating resources for future benefit'. 'Focused' originally meant 'hearth' but now means 'concentrated'.
