Etymology
'memorization-oriented' originates from the combination of 'memorization' and 'oriented', where 'memorization' is derived from 'memorize', and 'oriented' comes from 'orient', meaning 'to align or position'.
'Memorization' evolved from the Latin word 'memor', meaning 'mindful', and 'oriented' from the Latin 'orientem', meaning 'rising' or 'east'.
Initially, 'memorization' meant 'the act of remembering', and 'oriented' meant 'aligned towards'. Together, they evolved to mean 'focused on memorizing'.
