'emotion-centric' originates from the combination of 'emotion' and the suffix '-centric', where 'emotion' refers to feelings and '-centric' means centered around.

'emotion' comes from the Latin word 'emotio', meaning 'a moving, stirring, agitation', and '-centric' is derived from the Greek 'kentrikos', meaning 'pertaining to a center'.

Initially, 'emotion' referred to a physical movement or agitation, but over time it evolved to mean feelings or sentiments, leading to the modern usage in 'emotion-centric'.
