focused on investments
Etymology
The term 'investment-oriented' combines 'investment,' originating from the Latin 'investire,' meaning 'to clothe,' and 'oriented,' from the Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'
'Investment' evolved from the Latin 'investire' through Old French 'investir,' while 'oriented' came from the Latin 'orientare' through Middle French 'orienter.'
Initially, 'investment' referred to the act of putting on clothes, but it evolved to mean allocating resources for future benefits. 'Oriented' has maintained its meaning of alignment or direction.
