Usage notes

  • Usually written as one word: centrodestra. Hyphenated centro-destra appears, but the solid form is more standard in journalism and politics.
  • It refers mainly to political coalitions or areas, not just a moderate conservative person; for a person, context often makes this clearer.
  • Often used with the article: il centrodestra. It is masculine singular even when referring to a coalition of several parties.
