Etymology
'urban-oriented' originates from the combination of 'urban,' which comes from Latin 'urbanus,' meaning 'of or pertaining to a city,' and 'oriented,' from Latin 'orientare,' meaning 'to arrange or align.'
'urban' changed from the Latin word 'urbanus' and eventually became the modern English word 'urban.' 'Oriented' evolved from the Latin 'orientare' through Old French 'orienter.'
Initially, 'urban' meant 'pertaining to a city,' and 'oriented' meant 'aligned or directed.' The combined term 'urban-oriented' now means 'focused on urban areas.'
