'Library' evolved from the Latin 'librarium' through Old French 'librarie' to Middle English 'library.' 'Centered' evolved from the Latin 'centrum' through Old French 'centre' to Middle English 'centered.'
Initially, 'library' referred to a place for books, and 'centered' meant focused on a central point. Together, they evolved to mean focused on libraries.
