To move away from the center or to displace something from its central position.
From 'eccentric' (off-center) with the verb-forming suffix '-ate'. It describes the action of moving something away from its axis or central point.
Mechanical engineers use this term when they deliberately move something off-center on purpose—like adjusting an eccentric cam to change the timing of an engine.
