centrat

Centrat is a Romanian adjective and past participle derived from the verb centra, meaning to center or to place around a center. It describes something that has a center, is located at a center, or is organized around a central point. The term is used across several domains to indicate alignment, focus, or balance around a central axis or point. In English-language contexts you might encounter translations such as “centered” or “centered on.”

Grammatical notes: In Romanian, centr at forms agree with the noun they modify for gender and number. The feminine singular form is centrată; masculine plural is centrati; feminine plural is centrate. The word also functions as the past participle of a centra, and can appear in compound tenses and predicates to indicate that something is centered (for example, a figure is centrată în jurul unui punct, meaning centered around a point).

Usage and contexts: Centrated usage appears in geometry and design to denote objects that have their center at a specific point or that are arranged symmetrically around a central axis. In photography, layout, and user interface design, centrare describes the practice of aligning elements around the frame’s center. In descriptive writing or technical documentation, centr at conveys that a subject or feature is focused on or anchored by a central reference point. Related terms in English include center, centroid, and centering.
