'narrative-driven' originates from the combination of 'narrative,' which comes from Latin 'narrativus,' meaning 'telling a story,' and 'driven,' from Old English 'drifan,' meaning 'to drive or propel.'

'Narrative' evolved from the Latin 'narrativus' through Old French 'narratif,' while 'driven' evolved from Old English 'drifan.'

Initially, 'narrative' meant 'a story or account,' and 'driven' meant 'propelled or motivated.' Together, they evolved to describe something propelled by a story.
