Etymology
'urban-focused' originates from the combination of 'urban,' derived from Latin 'urbanus,' meaning 'of or pertaining to a city,' and 'focused,' from Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth' or 'center.'
'urban' changed from the Latin word 'urbanus' and eventually became the modern English word 'urban.' 'Focused' evolved from the Latin 'focus' through Middle English 'focussed.'
Initially, 'urban' meant 'pertaining to a city,' and 'focused' meant 'centered on a point.' Together, they evolved to mean 'concentrated on city areas.'
