Etymology
'trade-centered' originates from the combination of 'trade,' which comes from Old English 'træd,' meaning 'path or course,' and 'centered,' derived from Latin 'centrum,' meaning 'center.'
'trade' evolved from Old English 'træd' to Middle English 'trade,' and 'centered' from Latin 'centrum' to Middle English 'centre.'
Initially, 'trade' meant 'path or course,' but over time it evolved to mean 'commercial exchange,' and 'centered' has retained its meaning of 'focused on a central point.'
