'biocentrically' originates from English formation based on the adjective 'biocentric', which combines the prefix 'bio-' from Greek 'bios' meaning 'life' and the element 'centric' (via Latin/Greek) meaning 'center', plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'.

'biocentric' was formed in modern English from the combining form 'bio-' (Greek 'bios' 'life') + 'centric' (from Greek 'kentron' via Latin 'centricus' meaning 'centered'), giving 'biocentric'; this later took the adverbial suffix '-ally'/'-ly' to form 'biocentrically'.

Initially the components meant 'life' and 'center', and the compound originally described a 'life-centered' viewpoint; over time the adverb 'biocentrically' came to mean 'in a life-centered or biocentric manner', keeping that core sense.
