Etymology
'suburban-oriented' originates from the combination of 'suburban,' which comes from the Latin word 'suburbānus,' meaning 'near the city,' and 'oriented,' from the Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'
'Suburban' evolved from the Latin 'suburbānus' through Old French 'suburbain' and Middle English 'suburbane,' while 'oriented' came from the Latin 'orientare' through Old French 'orienter.'
Initially, 'suburban' referred to areas near a city, and 'oriented' meant aligned or directed. Together, they now describe something focused on suburban areas.
