'function-centric' originates from the combination of 'function' and the suffix '-centric', where 'function' refers to a specific activity or purpose, and '-centric' means centered around or focused on.

'Function' comes from Latin 'functio', meaning 'performance, execution', and '-centric' is derived from Greek 'kentrikos', meaning 'pertaining to a center'.

Initially, 'function' referred to a specific activity or purpose, and '-centric' meant centered around. The combination emphasizes a focus on functional aspects.
