'feedback-focused' originates from the combination of 'feedback' and 'focused', where 'feedback' refers to information about reactions to a product or a person's performance, and 'focused' means concentrated on a particular point or task.

The term 'feedback-focused' evolved from the increasing emphasis on feedback in educational and professional settings, combining the noun 'feedback' with the adjective 'focused'.

Initially, 'feedback' referred to the return of information about a process or activity, and 'focused' meant concentrated. Together, they now imply a concentrated effort on utilizing feedback.
