/rɪˈzʌlt ˌɔːr.iˈɛn.tɪd/
focused on outcomes
Etymology
'result-oriented' is a compound adjective formed from 'result' and 'oriented'. 'Result' originates from Latin 'resultare', meaning 'to spring back', and 'oriented' comes from Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.
'Result' evolved from the Latin 'resultare' through Old French 'resulter', and 'oriented' evolved from Latin 'orientare' through Middle English 'orienten'.
Initially, 'result' meant 'to spring back', but it evolved to mean 'outcome', and 'oriented' meant 'aligned', which has largely remained the same.
