Etymology
The word 'theme-oriented' is a compound word formed from 'theme' and 'oriented'. 'Theme' originates from the Greek word 'thema', meaning 'a subject or topic', and 'oriented' comes from the Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.
'Theme' evolved from the Greek 'thema' through Latin 'thema' and Old French 'teme', while 'oriented' evolved from Latin 'orientare' through Old French 'orienter'.
Initially, 'theme' meant 'a subject or topic', and 'oriented' meant 'aligned or directed'. Together, they now mean 'focused on a particular theme'.
