'content-centric' originates from the combination of 'content,' meaning the material or information contained within something, and 'centric,' derived from the Latin 'centrum,' meaning center.

'Content' and 'centric' were combined in modern English to form 'content-centric,' reflecting a focus on content as the central element.

Initially, 'centric' meant 'centered around,' and this meaning has remained consistent in the term 'content-centric.'
