'storage-centric' originates from the combination of 'storage' and the suffix '-centric', where 'storage' refers to the act of storing goods or data, and '-centric' means 'centered around or focused on'.

'storage' comes from the Old French 'estorage', meaning 'a place for storing', and '-centric' is derived from the Greek 'kentrikos', meaning 'pertaining to a center'.

Initially, 'storage' referred to physical spaces for storing goods, but in modern usage, it often pertains to data storage solutions.
