'non-infrastructure-focused' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not,' combined with 'infrastructure,' which comes from French 'infrastructure,' and 'focused,' from Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace.'

'non-infrastructure-focused' evolved from the combination of 'non-' and 'infrastructure,' which was first used in the mid-20th century, and 'focused,' which became common in English in the 17th century.

Initially, 'infrastructure' referred to the basic physical systems of a business or nation, but 'non-infrastructure-focused' now refers to approaches or strategies not centered on these systems.
