'decrease-centered' originates from the combination of 'decrease' and 'centered', where 'decrease' means 'to make less' and 'centered' means 'focused on'.

'decrease' comes from the Latin word 'decrescere', meaning 'to grow less', and 'centered' is derived from the Latin 'centrum', meaning 'center'.

Initially, 'decrease' meant 'to grow less', and 'centered' meant 'focused on a central point'. Together, they evolved to mean 'focused on reducing'.
