Etymology
'astronomy-centered' originates from the combination of 'astronomy' and 'centered', where 'astronomy' is derived from Greek 'astronomia', meaning 'star arrangement', and 'centered' from Latin 'centrum', meaning 'center'.
'astronomia' transformed into the Old French 'astronomie', and eventually became the modern English word 'astronomy'. 'Centrum' evolved into the Old French 'centre', and eventually became the modern English word 'centered'.
Initially, 'astronomy' meant 'the arrangement of stars', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the scientific study of celestial bodies'.
