Morphology

centric = center (transparent) = center + ic

The adjective is a direct formation from the noun 'center' with the productive adjectival suffix '-ic', meaning 'relating to a center'.

Etymology

Centric comes from the word center, which comes from an old Greek word meaning 'middle'. So centric means 'at or near the center', which is why we use it for things that are focused on a central point.
