▪ Rolland2014: »Diverses origines ont été proposées à partir du Lat ou du Grk, notamment le Grk kéntron ‘centre d’un cercle’, hypothèse retenue par le DRAE,1 plausible au vu de l’importance de la voûte dans l’architecture des ponts antiques. Du Grk proviennent la forme latinisée centrum et quelques dérivés techniques dont centrātus ‘central, placé au centre’, qui est la forme la plus proche de l’Ar. Même si ce mot n’est pas l’étymon que nous recherchons, il est vraisemblable que le terme désignant le pont ait été – comme ↗sirāṭ – emprunté à la langue de ces grands bâtisseurs qu’ont été les Romains.«
