goal-focused
Etymology
The term 'mission-driven' combines 'mission,' from Latin 'missio,' meaning 'a sending,' and 'driven,' from Old English 'drifan,' meaning 'to drive.'
'Mission' evolved from Latin 'missio' through Old French 'mission,' while 'driven' evolved from Old English 'drifan.'
Initially, 'mission' referred to a 'sending' or 'dispatching,' but now it often refers to a specific goal or purpose. 'Driven' has maintained its meaning of being propelled or motivated.
