Etymology
'talent-focused' originates from the combination of 'talent,' which comes from the Latin word 'talenta,' meaning 'a sum of money or weight,' and 'focused,' derived from the Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace.'
'talent' evolved from the Latin 'talenta' to Middle English 'talente,' eventually becoming the modern English 'talent.' 'Focused' transformed from the Latin 'focus' to the modern English 'focused.'
Initially, 'talent' referred to a unit of weight or currency, but over time it evolved to mean 'natural aptitude or skill.' 'Focused' has largely retained its meaning of 'concentrated attention or effort.'
