Etymology
'regionally-focused' originates from the word 'region,' which comes from Latin 'regio,' meaning 'direction, boundary, district.' The suffix '-ally' is used to form adverbs, and 'focused' comes from Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth, fireplace.'
'Region' evolved from the Latin 'regio' through Old French 'region' into Middle English 'regioun.' 'Focus' transformed from Latin 'focus' into the modern English 'focus.'
Initially, 'region' referred to a 'direction or boundary,' but over time it evolved to mean a 'specific geographic area.' 'Focus' originally meant 'hearth' but evolved to mean 'center of interest or activity.'
