Etymology
'marine-oriented' originates from the Latin word 'marinus,' meaning 'of the sea,' combined with the English word 'oriented,' meaning 'aligned or directed towards.'
'Marine' evolved from the Latin 'marinus' through Old French 'marin,' while 'oriented' comes from the Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or direct.'
Initially, 'marine' meant 'of the sea,' and 'oriented' meant 'directed towards.' The combined term 'marine-oriented' retains this meaning, focusing on sea-related aspects.
