Etymology
'substance-focused' originates from the combination of 'substance' and 'focused', where 'substance' refers to the essential part of something and 'focused' means concentrated on a particular point.
'substance' comes from the Latin word 'substantia', meaning 'essence', and 'focused' is derived from the Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace', which evolved to mean 'center of activity'.
Initially, 'substance' referred to the physical material of which something is made, but over time it evolved to mean the essential part or core of something.
