'thankfulness-oriented' originates from the English word 'thankfulness,' which is derived from 'thank' and the suffix '-ness,' indicating a state or quality. 'Oriented' comes from the Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'

'Thankfulness' evolved from the Old English 'þancfulnes,' while 'oriented' comes from the Latin 'orientare,' which passed through Old French 'orienter' before becoming the modern English 'oriented.'

Initially, 'thankfulness' meant 'the state of being thankful,' and 'oriented' meant 'aligned or directed.' The combination emphasizes a focus on gratitude.
