This Latin root is the word origin of a good number of English vocabulary words, including central, eccentric, and concentrate. The Latin root word centr is easily recalled through the word egocentric, for someone who is egocentric is someone whose own “center” or self is first and foremost, above all others. i hope this was helpful <3
