focused on procedures
Etymology
'procedure-oriented' originates from the combination of 'procedure' and 'oriented', where 'procedure' refers to a series of actions conducted in a certain order, and 'oriented' means directed towards a particular focus.
'procedure' comes from the Latin word 'procedere', meaning 'to go forward', and 'oriented' is derived from the Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.
Initially, it meant 'focused on following procedures', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
