Etymology
'network-oriented' originates from the combination of 'network' and 'oriented', where 'network' refers to a system of interconnected people or things, and 'oriented' means directed towards a particular goal or focus.
'network' evolved from the Old English 'net' meaning 'mesh' and 'work' meaning 'labor', while 'oriented' comes from the Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.
Initially, 'network' referred to a physical mesh or net, but over time it evolved to include interconnected systems, especially in technology.
