Etymology
'substance-oriented' originates from the combination of 'substance' and 'oriented', where 'substance' refers to the essential nature or core of something, and 'oriented' means directed towards or focused on.
'Substance' comes from the Latin word 'substantia', meaning 'essence' or 'being', and 'oriented' is derived from the Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange' or 'to direct'.
Initially, 'substance' referred to the physical material of which something is made, but over time it evolved to include the essential nature or core of something.
