'profit-focused' originates from the combination of 'profit' and 'focus,' where 'profit' means 'financial gain' and 'focus' means 'concentration or emphasis.'

'Profit' and 'focus' have been used in English since the late Middle Ages, and their combination into 'profit-focused' is a modern development reflecting business terminology.

Initially, 'profit' meant 'financial gain,' and 'focus' meant 'concentration.' The combination 'profit-focused' has maintained this meaning, emphasizing a business strategy centered on financial gain.
