Etymology
'urban-centric' originates from the combination of 'urban,' derived from Latin 'urbanus,' meaning 'of or pertaining to a city,' and 'centric,' from Greek 'kentrikos,' meaning 'pertaining to a center.'
'urban' changed from the Latin word 'urbanus' and eventually became the modern English word 'urban.' 'Centric' evolved from the Greek word 'kentrikos' to the modern English 'centric.'
Initially, 'urban' meant 'pertaining to a city,' and 'centric' meant 'centered.' Together, they evolved to mean 'focused on urban areas.'
