Etymology
'personal-priority' originates from the combination of 'personal,' derived from Latin 'personalis,' meaning 'pertaining to a person,' and 'priority,' from Latin 'prioritas,' meaning 'precedence.'
'Personal' and 'priority' were combined in modern English to form 'personal-priority,' emphasizing individual importance.
Initially, 'priority' meant 'precedence in time or order,' but in combination with 'personal,' it evolved to signify individual importance.
