Root Explanation

Centered → It is formed from "center" (from Old French *centre*, meaning the middle point) and "-ed" (a suffix indicating a state or condition). The word "centered" means being in a state of being in the middle or focused around a central point.

Memory Tip

Think of being in the 'middle' ('center') of something, and the '-ed' shows that you are in that state. This helps you remember that 'centered' means to be focused around a central point.
