'attribute-centered' originates from the combination of 'attribute' and 'centered', where 'attribute' comes from Latin 'attribuere', meaning 'to assign' and 'centered' implies being focused or concentrated on a particular point.

'Attribute' evolved from the Latin 'attribuere' through Old French 'atribuer', and 'centered' comes from the Middle English 'centre', influenced by Old French 'centrer'.

Initially, 'attribute' meant 'to assign or ascribe', and 'centered' meant 'focused on a central point'. Together, they evolved to mean 'focused on specific characteristics'.
