'trade-focused' originates from the combination of 'trade' and 'focused', where 'trade' refers to the activity of buying and selling goods and services, and 'focused' means concentrated on a particular goal or activity.

'trade' comes from the Old English word 'trād', meaning 'path' or 'course', and 'focused' is derived from the Latin word 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace', which evolved to mean 'center of activity'.

Initially, 'trade' referred to a path or course, but over time it evolved to mean the activity of buying and selling goods. 'Focused' originally meant 'center of activity', which has largely remained the same in modern usage.
