This is the French spelling of "center". It used to puzzle me that British writers used the French spelling, despite the fact that the syllable "re" has a totally different sound than "er." However, as it turns out, most Britons don't pronounce the "r" in this word anyway, so for them it's a phonetic non-issue. In the U.S., where we do pronounce the "r", the spelling "center" makes more phonetic sense than the French "centre."
