Etymology
The term 'solution-oriented' combines 'solution,' from Latin 'solutio,' meaning 'a loosening or solving,' and 'oriented,' from Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'
'Solution' evolved from the Latin 'solutio' through Old French 'solution' into Middle English, while 'oriented' came from Latin 'orientare' through French 'orienter.'
Initially, 'solution' meant 'a loosening or solving,' and 'oriented' meant 'aligned towards.' Together, they evolved to mean 'focused on solving problems.'
