Morphology
egocentricity = egocentric (transparent) = ego + centric + ity
Standard nominalization of the adjective 'egocentric' with '-ity', yielding 'the quality or state of being egocentric'.
Etymology
Egocentricity comes from ego meaning 'I' and centric meaning 'center', so it makes a clear picture of someone who puts themselves at the middle of everything. That's why egocentricity means being focused on yourself and often ignoring other people.
