The term 'marketing-focused' combines 'marketing,' derived from the Old English 'mearc' meaning 'boundary, sign,' and 'focused,' from the Latin 'focus' meaning 'hearth, fireplace.'

'Marketing' evolved from the Old English 'mearc' to the modern term, while 'focused' transitioned from Latin 'focus' to Middle English 'focussed.'

Initially, 'marketing' referred to the act of buying and selling, but now it encompasses a broader range of promotional activities. 'Focused' has retained its meaning of concentration or attention.
