Etymology
'virtual-focused' originates from the combination of 'virtual,' derived from the Latin word 'virtualis,' meaning 'influential or effective,' and 'focused,' from the Latin 'focus,' meaning 'hearth or fireplace,' which evolved to mean 'center of activity or interest.'
'virtual' changed from the Latin 'virtualis' to the modern English 'virtual,' and 'focused' evolved from the Latin 'focus' to the modern English 'focused.'
Initially, 'virtual' meant 'influential or effective,' but over time it evolved to mean 'existing in essence or effect though not in actual fact,' while 'focused' retained its meaning of 'centered or concentrated.'
