Etymology
'wellness-focused' originates from the combination of 'wellness' and 'focused', where 'wellness' refers to the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal, and 'focused' means concentrated on a particular aim or task.
'Wellness' evolved from the Old English word 'welnes', meaning 'health', and 'focused' comes from the Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace', which later came to mean 'center of activity'.
Initially, 'wellness' meant 'health', and 'focused' meant 'centered on a task'. Together, they evolved to mean 'concentrated on promoting health'.
