'comprehension-centered' originates from the combination of 'comprehension' and 'centered', where 'comprehension' means 'understanding' and 'centered' means 'focused on'.

'comprehension' comes from the Latin word 'comprehensio', and 'centered' is derived from the Old French 'centrer'.

Initially, 'comprehension' meant 'grasping with the mind', and 'centered' meant 'having a center'. Together, they evolved to mean 'focused on understanding'.
