Etymology
The term 'quantity-centered' is a modern English compound word formed by combining 'quantity' and 'centered'. 'Quantity' originates from Latin 'quantitas', meaning 'how much'.
'Quantity' evolved from the Latin 'quantitas' through Old French 'quantité', and 'centered' is derived from the Latin 'centrum'.
Initially, 'quantity' referred to 'how much' of something, and 'centered' meant 'focused on'. The combined term 'quantity-centered' retains this meaning of focusing on the amount.
