'record-centric' originates from the combination of 'record' and the suffix '-centric', where 'record' refers to a documented piece of information and '-centric' means centered around or focused on.

'record' comes from the Latin word 'recordari', meaning 'to remember', and '-centric' is derived from the Greek word 'kentrikos', meaning 'pertaining to a center'.

Initially, 'record' meant 'to remember', but over time it evolved to mean 'a documented piece of information'.
