You probably mean "epicenter" (US spelling; British: "epicentre").
1. In seismology: the point on the Earth's surface directly above the earthquake's focus (hypocenter) — the location on the ground above where the rupture begins.
2. Figurative: the central point or focal area of an activity, event, or situation (e.g., "the city was the epicenter of the protests").
Pronunciation: EP-i-sen-ter. Etymology: from Greek epi- "upon" + kentron "center."
