The center can be found by the intersection of the 3 perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle. It will then encompass the 3 vertices of the scalene triangle with a circle.

Answer:

Circumcenter.

Explanation:

A circumscribed circle can be defined as a circle which passes throguth all three vertices of a triangle.

To construct a circumscribed triangle, first, we need to construct the circumcenter of the triangle, which is the intersection point of its all three perpendicular bisectors. Such point of intersection has equal distance to all three vertices.

Therefore, the word missing here is circumcenter.
