Etymology
'recovery-oriented' originates from the combination of 'recovery' and 'oriented', where 'recovery' means 'the process of returning to a normal state' and 'oriented' means 'aligned or positioned towards a particular goal'.
'recovery' changed from the Old French word 'recovrer' and eventually became the modern English word 'recovery'. 'Oriented' comes from the Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.
Initially, 'recovery' meant 'to regain possession', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'returning to a normal state'.
