'monologue-oriented' originates from the combination of 'monologue' and the suffix '-oriented', where 'monologue' comes from Greek 'monologos', meaning 'speaking alone', and '-oriented' implies a focus or direction towards something.

'monologue' changed from the Greek word 'monologos' and eventually became the modern English word 'monologue'.

Initially, 'monologue' meant 'a speech by one person', but over time it evolved to include any form of solo speech or narrative.
