Etymology
'rehabilitation-focused' originates from the combination of 'rehabilitation' and 'focused', where 'rehabilitation' comes from Latin 'rehabilitare', meaning 'to restore' and 'focused' from Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'center'.
'rehabilitation' changed from the Latin word 'rehabilitare' and eventually became the modern English word 'rehabilitation'. 'Focused' evolved from the Latin 'focus' through Middle English.
Initially, 'rehabilitation' meant 'to restore to a former state', and 'focused' meant 'centered on a particular point'. The combined term 'rehabilitation-focused' now means 'centered on the process of rehabilitation'.
