'system-focused' originates from the combination of 'system' and 'focused', where 'system' refers to a set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole, and 'focused' means concentrated on a particular point or task.

'System' comes from the Latin word 'systema', and 'focused' is derived from the Latin 'focus', meaning 'hearth' or 'fireplace'.

Initially, 'focused' meant 'concentrated on a point', and over time, it evolved to mean 'concentrated on a specific task or objective'.
