'archive-centered' originates from the English word 'archive,' which comes from the Greek word 'arkheion,' meaning 'public records.' The suffix '-centered' is derived from the Latin 'centrum,' meaning 'center.'

'archive' changed from the Greek word 'arkheion' to the Latin 'archivum,' and eventually became the modern English word 'archive.'

Initially, 'archive' meant 'a place for public records,' but over time it evolved to include any collection of historical documents.
