'product-oriented' originates from the combination of 'product' and the suffix '-oriented', where 'product' refers to an item produced for sale and '-oriented' indicates a focus or direction towards something.

The term 'product-oriented' evolved from the business lexicon, combining 'product' with the suffix '-oriented' to describe a focus on product development.

Initially, it meant 'focused on products,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
