Etymology
'physically-oriented' originates from the combination of 'physical' and 'oriented', where 'physical' is derived from Latin 'physica', meaning 'natural science', and 'oriented' from Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.
The term 'physically-oriented' evolved from the combination of 'physical' and 'oriented', which were used separately in Middle English and later combined in modern English.
Initially, 'physical' referred to natural science, but over time it evolved to mean 'related to the body', and 'oriented' maintained its meaning of 'aligned or directed'.
