Etymology
'male-focused' originates from the combination of 'male' and 'focus,' where 'male' refers to the gender and 'focus' means 'center of interest or activity.'
The term 'focus' comes from the Latin word 'focus,' meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace,' which evolved to mean 'center of activity.'
Initially, 'focus' meant 'hearth,' but over time it evolved to mean 'center of interest or activity,' and in combination with 'male,' it denotes a focus on males.
