Etymology
'conversation-centered' is a compound word formed from 'conversation' and 'centered'. 'Conversation' originates from Latin 'conversatio', meaning 'living together, having dealings with others', and 'centered' comes from 'center', which originates from Greek 'kentron', meaning 'sharp point, goad'.
'Conversation' evolved from Old French 'conversacion', and 'centered' from Middle English 'centre'.
Initially, 'conversation' meant 'living together', but it evolved to mean 'verbal exchange'. 'Centered' has maintained its meaning of 'being at the center'.
