'literary-centered' originates from the combination of 'literary,' which comes from Latin 'litterarius,' meaning 'pertaining to letters or literature,' and 'centered,' derived from the word 'center,' meaning 'middle point.'

'literary' changed from the Latin word 'litterarius' and eventually became the modern English word 'literary.' 'Centered' evolved from the Old French 'centre,' which was derived from the Latin 'centrum.'

Initially, 'literary' meant 'pertaining to letters or literature,' and 'centered' meant 'having a center.' Over time, 'literary-centered' evolved to mean 'focused on literature.'
