uncentred

Not in middle

Uncentred (also uncentered) describes something not placed at the center, or lacking a stable core.

A design element may be uncentred on a page.

More abstractly, a person who feels uncentred lacks equilibrium or groundedness: I've felt uncentred ever since the move.

The opposite of centred in both spatial and psychological senses.
