Etymology
Central entered Romanian from French central, itself from Latin centralis, an adjective built on centrum, meaning center. Latin centrum was borrowed from Greek kentron, a sharp point or the fixed point of a compass used to draw a circle. The word spread through most European languages as science and administration needed a term for whatever sits at the middle of a system.
