Etymology
'competence-centered' originates from the combination of 'competence,' which comes from Latin 'competentia,' meaning 'agreement or symmetry,' and 'centered,' derived from the Latin 'centrum,' meaning 'center.'
'Competence' evolved from the Latin 'competentia' through Old French 'competence,' while 'centered' evolved from the Latin 'centrum' through Old French 'centre.'
Initially, 'competence' referred to 'agreement or symmetry,' but it evolved to mean 'the ability to do something successfully.'
