'industry-centered' originates from the combination of 'industry' and 'centered', where 'industry' refers to economic activity concerned with the processing of raw materials and manufacture of goods, and 'centered' means focused or concentrated.

'industry' comes from the Latin word 'industria', meaning 'diligence', and 'centered' is derived from the Old French 'centrer', meaning 'to center'.

Initially, 'centered' meant 'having a center', but over time it evolved to mean 'focused on'.
