'product-focused' originates from the combination of 'product' and 'focused', where 'product' refers to an item or service created for sale, and 'focused' means concentrated or directed attention.

The term 'product-focused' evolved from the business and marketing lexicon, emphasizing a strategy centered around product development and enhancement.

Initially, it meant concentrating on the product itself, and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
