The word 'truth-focused' is a compound word formed by combining 'truth' and 'focused'. 'Truth' originates from Old English 'trēowþ', meaning 'faith, fidelity, loyalty, veracity', and 'focused' comes from the Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth, fireplace'.

'Truth' evolved from Old English 'trēowþ' to Middle English 'treuthe', and eventually became the modern English word 'truth'. 'Focused' evolved from the Latin 'focus' to the modern English 'focused'.

Initially, 'truth' meant 'faith or fidelity', but over time it evolved to mean 'the quality or state of being true'. 'Focused' has largely retained its original meaning of 'concentrated or directed attention'.
