The state everyone fakes on a yoga mat and abandons in traffic.
means Being calm, balanced, and emotionally grounded — or, more literally, placed at or moved toward the middle of something.
from From "center," which traveled into English through Old French "centre" from Latin "centrum," itself borrowed from Greek "kentron" — the sharp point of a compass, the pivot a circle is drawn around. So "kentron" first meant a goad or sting (from "kentein," to prick), then the fixed foot of the drawing compass, then the middle point it produced. The calm, meditative "centered" is a much later bloom: the metaphor of being gathered at one's own still pivot rather than flung to the edges.
