Morphology

christocentric = Christ + centric (transparent) = christo + centric

Formed from the combining form 'Christo-' and the productive element '-centric' meaning 'centered on', so the meaning is directly inferable as 'centered on Christ'.

Etymology

Christocentric joins Christo- ('Christ' or 'Jesus') and -centric ('center'), the same idea as the word center. So christocentric means 'Christ at the center' of belief and life.
