'audio-centric' originates from the combination of 'audio,' derived from Latin 'audire' meaning 'to hear,' and the suffix '-centric,' from Greek 'kentrikos,' meaning 'pertaining to a center.'

'audio' from Latin 'audire' combined with '-centric' from Greek 'kentrikos' to form the modern English word 'audio-centric.'

Initially, it meant 'centered around sound,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
