'product-centric' originates from the combination of 'product' and the suffix '-centric', where 'product' refers to an item produced for sale and '-centric' means centered around or focused on.

'Product' comes from the Latin word 'productum', meaning 'something produced', and '-centric' is derived from the Greek word 'kentrikos', meaning 'pertaining to a center'.

Initially, it meant 'centered around a product', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
