'tactile-centered' originates from the Latin word 'tactilis,' where 'tact-' meant 'touch,' combined with the English word 'centered,' meaning 'focused on.'

'tactilis' transformed into the English word 'tactile,' and eventually combined with 'centered' to form the modern term 'tactile-centered.'

Initially, it meant 'focused on touch,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
