Etymology
'ocean-focused' originates from the English word 'ocean' combined with 'focused', where 'ocean' refers to the vast body of saltwater and 'focused' means concentrated on a particular point or area.
'ocean' from Middle English 'ocean' and 'focused' from Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace', eventually became the modern English word 'focused'.
Initially, 'focused' meant 'concentrated on a point', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
