'emotional-centric' originates from the combination of 'emotional' and 'centric', where 'emotional' pertains to feelings and 'centric' means centered or focused.

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

Initially, 'emotional' referred to any stirring of feelings, but over time it evolved to focus on personal feelings and responses.
