'production-based' originates from the combination of 'production' and 'based', where 'production' comes from Latin 'productio', meaning 'a bringing forth', and 'based' comes from Old French 'basse', meaning 'foundation'.

'production' evolved from the Latin 'productio' through Old French 'produccion', while 'based' evolved from Old French 'basse'.

Initially, 'production' meant 'a bringing forth', and 'based' meant 'foundation'. Together, they evolved to mean 'relating to the process of producing goods'.
