Epicentre - (formal) the central point of something
edit: spelling
The epicenter is not the center; it's a point above the center. It's from seismology. An earthquake's origin is beneath the earth's surface. The epicenter is the point on the surface that's directly above the origin point.
Yes, it is used like that. However, not just in english, but in many languages, epicentre is sometimes used with the meaning of "centre of something".
I do not think it means what you think it means.
