Etymology
1. 1640, from
concenter (1591), from It.
concentrare, from L.
com- "together" +
centrum "center." Originally "to bring or come to a common center," sense of "mental focus" is after 1860.
Concentration camp first used 1901, to describe such camps in second Boer War (1899-1902); it was applied to Nazi Germany as early as 1934.
2. (early 17th century) From a Romance language, see French concentrer, Italian concentràre, Spanish concentrar; alternatively from Medieval Latin/New Latin concentrō + -ate (verb-forming suffix). Compare also earlier concentre and German konzentrieren. By surface analysis, con- + center (centr- in compounds) + -ate (verb-forming suffix). See: French '
concentrer', Italian '
concentrare', Spanish '
concentrar', German, old spelling '
konzentrieren'.
