'technology-based' originates from the combination of 'technology' and the suffix '-based', where 'technology' comes from Greek 'tekhnologia', meaning 'systematic treatment', and '-based' implies 'founded on or derived from'.

'technology' evolved from the Greek word 'tekhnologia', through Latin 'technologia', and eventually became the modern English word 'technology'.

Initially, 'technology' referred to 'systematic treatment', but over time it evolved to mean 'the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes'.
