Not centered on libraries
Etymology
The prefix 'non-' originates from Latin, meaning 'not.' The word 'library' comes from Latin 'libraria,' meaning 'bookstore.' The word 'focused' comes from Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace,' which evolved to mean 'center of activity or interest.'
'Non-' combined with 'library' and 'focused' to form the modern English term 'non-library-focused.'
Initially, 'focused' meant 'center of activity,' but in this context, it evolved to mean 'not centered on libraries.'
