Usage Note
Enfoque is derived from enfocar (to focus) and is widely used in academic, journalistic, and business Spanish to mean a methodological approach or analytical angle. Desde un enfoque crítico = 'from a critical perspective'. It is more abstract than foco (which stresses the spotlight or point) and closer to 'framing' or 'approach'.
Examples
"El enfoque del estudio es multidisciplinario."
Natural Translation
The study's approach is multidisciplinary.
