Where did the word geocentric come from?

The word "geocentric" comes from the Greek words "geo" meaning "earth" and "kentron" meaning "center".

Therefore, "geocentric" literally translates to "earth-centered".

This accurately reflects the geocentric model of the universe, which placed the Earth at the center with all other celestial bodies revolving around it.
