'technology-oriented' originates from the combination of 'technology' and 'oriented', where 'technology' comes from Greek 'tekhnologia', meaning 'systematic treatment', and 'oriented' comes from Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.

'technology-oriented' evolved from the combination of 'technology' and 'oriented', which were used separately in English before being combined to describe a focus on technology.

Initially, it meant 'aligned with technology', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
