'tangible-oriented' originates from the combination of 'tangible,' which comes from Latin 'tangibilis,' meaning 'that may be touched,' and 'oriented,' derived from Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'

The term 'tangible' evolved from the Latin 'tangibilis' through Old French 'tangible' into Middle English, while 'oriented' evolved from Latin 'orientare' through French 'orienter.'

Initially, 'tangible' meant 'that may be touched,' and 'oriented' meant 'to arrange or align.' The combined term 'tangible-oriented' now refers to a focus on physical or measurable aspects.
