Etymology
'trait-oriented' originates from the combination of 'trait,' meaning a distinguishing quality or characteristic, and 'oriented,' meaning directed towards or focused on.
'Trait' comes from the Latin word 'tractus,' meaning 'drawn out,' and 'oriented' from the Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'
Initially, 'trait' referred to a drawn line or feature, but over time it evolved to mean a distinguishing quality or characteristic.
