'minimization-oriented' originates from the English word 'minimization,' which comes from the Latin word 'minimus,' meaning 'smallest,' combined with 'oriented,' from the Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'

'Minimization' evolved from the Latin 'minimus' through Old French 'minimiser,' and 'oriented' from Latin 'orientare' through Old French 'orienter.'

Initially, 'minimization' meant 'making something as small as possible,' and 'oriented' meant 'aligned or directed towards.' The combined term 'minimization-oriented' retains these meanings in modern usage.
