Etymology
The term 'skill-oriented' combines 'skill,' from Old Norse 'skil,' meaning 'discernment,' and 'oriented,' from Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'
'Skill' evolved from the Old Norse 'skil' to Middle English 'skil,' while 'oriented' evolved from Latin 'orientare' to Middle English 'orienten.'
Initially, 'skill' meant 'discernment or knowledge,' and 'oriented' meant 'aligned or directed.' Together, they now mean 'focused on skills.'
