Etymology
'aesthetic-centric' originates from the combination of 'aesthetic,' which comes from the Greek word 'aisthētikos,' meaning 'perceptive by feeling,' and 'centric,' derived from the Latin 'centricus,' meaning 'centered.'
'aesthetic' evolved from the Greek 'aisthētikos' to the modern English 'aesthetic,' while 'centric' transformed from the Latin 'centricus' to the modern English 'centric.'
Initially, 'aesthetic' meant 'perceptive by feeling,' but over time it evolved to mean 'concerned with beauty or the appreciation of beauty.'
