Etymology
'linguistic-focused' originates from the word 'linguistic,' which comes from Latin 'lingua,' meaning 'language,' combined with 'focused,' from Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth' or 'center.'
'linguistic' evolved from the Latin 'lingua' through Old French 'linguistique,' and 'focused' from Latin 'focus' through Middle English 'focussed.'
Initially, 'linguistic' meant 'pertaining to language,' and 'focused' meant 'concentrated on a central point.' The combined term retains these meanings.
