Etymology
'suburban-centric' originates from the combination of 'suburban,' which comes from the Latin word 'suburbānus,' meaning 'near the city,' and 'centric,' derived from the Greek word 'kentrikos,' meaning 'pertaining to a center.'
'suburban' changed from the Latin word 'suburbānus' and eventually became the modern English word 'suburban.' 'Centric' evolved from the Greek 'kentrikos' to the modern English 'centric.'
Initially, 'suburban' meant 'near the city,' and 'centric' meant 'pertaining to a center.' Over time, 'suburban-centric' evolved to mean 'focused on suburban areas.'
