2. 原本用于天文学表示“(天体)在不正圆轨道上运行的”，这样的天体相对于在正圆轨道上运行的天体来说，很显然是不正规的、不规则的、不规矩的、不符合常规的、异常的，由此就引申为跟正常人相对立的古怪的、怪僻的、偏执的、异乎寻常的的人。

英文词源
- eccentric (n.)
- early 15c., "eccentric circle or orbit," originally a term in Ptolemaic astronomy, "circle or orbit not having the Earth precisely at its center," from Middle French eccentrique and directly from Medieval Latin eccentricus (noun and adjective), from Greek ekkentros "out of the center" (as opposed to concentric), from ek "out" (see ex-) + kentron "center" (see center (n.)). Meaning "odd or whimsical person" is attested by 1817 (S.W. Ryley, "The Itinerant, or Memoirs of an Actor").
