'industrial-centered' originates from the combination of 'industrial' and 'centered', where 'industrial' is derived from 'industry', meaning 'economic activity concerned with the processing of raw materials and manufacture of goods in factories', and 'centered' meaning 'having a specified center'.
'industrial' evolved from the Latin word 'industria', meaning 'diligence', and 'centered' from the Old French 'centre', meaning 'middle point'.
Initially, 'industrial' referred to diligence and skill, but over time it evolved to relate to industry and manufacturing.
