'idea-centered' originates from the combination of 'idea' and 'centered', where 'idea' comes from Greek 'idea' meaning 'form, pattern', and 'centered' from Latin 'centrum' meaning 'center'.

'idea' was adopted into English from Latin 'idea', and 'centered' evolved from Old French 'centrer', eventually forming the modern English term 'idea-centered'.

Initially, 'idea' referred to a 'form or pattern', but over time it evolved to mean 'a thought or suggestion'. 'Centered' has maintained its meaning of 'being at the center'.
