'company-centric' originates from the English word 'company' combined with the suffix '-centric', where 'company' refers to a business entity and '-centric' means 'centered around'.

'Company' comes from the Old French word 'compaignie', which meant 'society, friendship, intimacy; body of soldiers', and '-centric' is derived from the Greek 'kentrikos', meaning 'pertaining to a center'.

Initially, 'centric' meant 'pertaining to a center', but over time it evolved to mean 'focused on or oriented around'.
