'marine-centered' originates from the Latin word 'marinus,' meaning 'of the sea,' combined with the English word 'centered,' indicating focus or emphasis.

'Marine' evolved from the Latin 'marinus' through Old French 'marin,' and 'centered' comes from the Old French 'centrer.'

Initially, 'marine' meant 'of the sea,' and 'centered' meant 'focused on a central point.' The combined term 'marine-centered' retains these meanings, emphasizing a focus on marine environments.
