'lecture-centered' originates from the English word 'lecture,' which comes from the Latin word 'lectura,' meaning 'a reading,' combined with 'centered,' indicating focus or emphasis.

'Lecture' evolved from the Latin 'lectura' to the Old French 'lecture,' and eventually became the modern English word 'lecture.'

Initially, 'lecture' meant 'a reading,' but over time it evolved to mean 'an educational talk to an audience.'
