'logistics-oriented' originates from the word 'logistics,' which comes from the French word 'logistique,' meaning 'pertaining to calculation or reasoning.' The suffix '-oriented' is derived from the Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'

'logistique' transformed into the English word 'logistics,' and the suffix '-oriented' was added to form the modern term 'logistics-oriented.'

Initially, 'logistics' referred to military operations, but over time it evolved to include business and supply chain management, leading to the term 'logistics-oriented' to describe a focus on these areas.
