'offline-centric' originates from the combination of 'offline' and the suffix '-centric', where 'offline' refers to activities not connected to the internet, and '-centric' means focused on or centered around.

The term 'offline' evolved from the concept of being disconnected from a network, while '-centric' is derived from the Greek 'kentrikos', meaning 'pertaining to a center'.

Initially, 'offline' simply meant not connected to a network, but over time it has come to represent activities or environments that are non-digital.
