focus on routines
Etymology
'routine-oriented' originates from the word 'routine,' which comes from the French word 'routine,' meaning 'habitual course of action,' combined with the suffix '-oriented,' which indicates a focus or direction towards something.
'routine' was borrowed from French in the 17th century, and the suffix '-oriented' was added in modern English to form 'routine-oriented.'
Initially, 'routine' referred to a habitual course of action, and 'oriented' indicated a focus. Together, they evolved to describe a preference for routines.
