Etymology
'practical-focused' originates from the combination of 'practical' and 'focused', where 'practical' comes from Latin 'practicus', meaning 'fit for action', and 'focused' derives from Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'center'.
'practical' evolved from the Latin 'practicus' through Old French 'practique', and 'focused' from Latin 'focus' through Middle English 'focussed'.
Initially, 'practical' meant 'fit for action', and 'focused' meant 'centered'. Over time, 'practical-focused' evolved to mean emphasizing practical applications.
