'missile-oriented' originates from the English word 'missile' combined with the suffix '-oriented', where 'missile' refers to a projectile weapon and '-oriented' means directed towards or focused on.

The term 'missile' comes from the Latin word 'missilis', meaning 'that may be thrown', and 'oriented' is derived from the Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or direct'.

Initially, 'missile' referred to any object thrown or projected, but over time it evolved to specifically mean a weapon designed to be sent in a specific direction.
