The Latin root word *centr* means "center." This Latin root is the word origin of a good number of English vocabulary words, including [*centr*]al, ec[*centr*]ic, and con[*centr*]ate. The Latin root word *centr* is easily recalled through the word ego[*centr*]ic, for someone who is ego[*centr*]ic is someone whose own "center" or self is first and foremost, above all others.
