Morphology

centered = center (semi-transparent) = center + ed

Formed regularly from 'center' + '-ed', but the sense 'emotionally balanced' is a metaphorical extension rather than a strictly spatial meaning.

Etymology

The word centered comes from center, which means 'middle', and gives a useful image: your mind is like the middle of a wheel that keeps everything steady. So to be centered emotionally is to be calm, balanced, and steady.
