'management-focused' originates from the combination of 'management' and 'focused', where 'management' comes from the Latin word 'manus' meaning 'hand' and 'agere' meaning 'to act', and 'focused' comes from the Latin word 'focus' meaning 'hearth' or 'center'.

'management' evolved from the Old French word 'ménagement', and 'focused' from the Latin 'focus', eventually forming the modern English term 'management-focused'.

Initially, 'management' meant 'handling or control', and 'focused' meant 'centered'. Over time, 'management-focused' evolved to mean 'dedicated to management practices'.
