'memorization' evolved from the Latin 'memorare' through Old French 'memorer', and 'focused' from Latin 'focus', eventually forming the modern English term 'memorization-focused'.
Initially, 'memorization' meant 'to remember', and 'focused' meant 'centered'. Over time, 'memorization-focused' evolved to mean 'emphasizing memory retention'.
