Concentred

/kənˈsɛntərd/ adjective

Definition

Brought together or focused at a center; concentrated or unified in one place.

Etymology

Past participle of concentre, forming the adjective describing the state of being concentrated. This spelling variant (with 're' instead of 'er') reflects British English preferences.

Kelly Says

British English kept the 're' spelling while American English dropped it—a tiny 18th-century spelling choice that stuck around and now tells you which side of the Atlantic a writer comes from!
