Root Explanation

Centeredness → It is formed from "center" (from Old French *centre*, meaning the middle point) and "-edness" (a suffix indicating a state or condition). The word "centeredness" refers to the state of being in the center or having a balanced position.

Memory Tip

Think of being in the 'middle' ('center') and the state of that position ('-edness'). This helps you remember that 'centeredness' means the state of being in the center.
