Etymology of EXCENTRICAL

The word "excentrical" (sometimes spelled "eccentrical") is derived from the root word "eccentric" and the suffix "-al".

The root word "eccentric" comes from the Latin word "eccentricus", which in turn is derived from the Greek word "ekkentros".

The Greek word "ekkentros" is a combination of two components: "ek", meaning "out", and "kentron", meaning "center". So, "eccentricus" and "eccentric" originally referred to something or someone that is out of the center or deviates from the normal or expected pattern.

The suffix "-al" in "excentrical" denotes that the word is an adjective, relating to or characterized by being eccentric.
