The term 'manufacturer-focused' combines 'manufacturer,' originating from the Latin 'manu factus,' meaning 'made by hand,' and 'focused,' from the Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth' or 'center.'

'Manufacturer' evolved from the Latin 'manu factus' through Old French 'manufacter,' while 'focused' came from Latin 'focus' through Middle English 'focussed.'

Initially, 'manufacturer' referred to hand-made goods, but now it broadly refers to any production entity. 'Focused' has retained its meaning of concentration or centralization.
