'demand-centered' originates from the combination of 'demand,' which comes from the Latin word 'demandare,' meaning 'to entrust,' and 'centered,' derived from the Latin 'centrum,' meaning 'center.'

'demand' evolved from the Old French word 'demander,' and 'centered' from the Old French 'centre,' eventually forming the modern English term 'demand-centered.'

Initially, 'demand' meant 'to entrust or command,' but over time it evolved to mean 'a need or desire for goods or services,' leading to the modern concept of 'demand-centered.'
