Etymology
'stakeholder-oriented' is a compound word formed from 'stakeholder' and 'oriented'. 'Stakeholder' originates from the word 'stake', meaning 'an interest or share in an undertaking', and 'holder', meaning 'one who holds'. 'Oriented' comes from the Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.
'Stakeholder' evolved from the Middle English 'stake', meaning 'a post', and 'holder', meaning 'one who holds'. 'Oriented' evolved from the Latin 'orientare', which was adopted into English in the 19th century.
Initially, 'stakeholder' referred to someone holding a stake in a bet, but it evolved to mean anyone with an interest in a business or project. 'Oriented' has maintained its meaning of 'aligned or directed towards'.
