'remote-focused' is a compound word formed from 'remote' and 'focused'. 'Remote' originates from Latin 'remotus', meaning 'removed' or 'distant', and 'focused' comes from Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'center'.

'Remote' evolved from the Latin 'remotus' through Old French 'remot', while 'focused' developed from Latin 'focus' through Middle English 'focussed'.

Initially, 'remote' meant 'distant', and 'focused' meant 'centered'. Together, they now imply a concentration on distant or virtual activities.
