'corporate-centered' originates from the English word 'corporate,' which comes from the Latin 'corporatus,' meaning 'formed into a body,' and 'centered,' from the Latin 'centrum,' meaning 'center.'

'corporate' evolved from the Latin 'corporatus' through Old French 'corporatif,' and 'centered' from Latin 'centrum' through Old French 'centrer.'

Initially, 'corporate' referred to a body or group, and 'centered' meant focused on a central point. Together, they evolved to mean focused on corporate interests.
