Etymology

The word 'centring' comes from the Middle English term 'centren,' which is derived from the Latin word 'centrum,' meaning 'center.' The practice of centring, both in physical and metaphorical senses, has been prominent since ancient times, particularly in geometry and art, where spatial relationships were critical. Over the centuries, the concept of centring has evolved to encompass not only physical positioning but also psychological and emotional states. In modern contexts, centring has gained additional significance in areas like mindfulness and self-awareness practices, where the focus is placed on mental clarity and emotional balance.
