The term 'results-focused' combines 'results,' from the Latin 'resultare,' meaning 'to spring back,' and 'focused,' from the Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth' or 'center.'

'Results-focused' evolved from the combination of 'results' and 'focused' in modern English to describe a mindset or approach centered on achieving specific outcomes.

Initially, 'results' referred to the outcome of an action, while 'focused' meant concentrated. Together, they evolved to describe a mindset prioritizing outcomes.
