Definition ($Z(G)$ - Center Of A Group)
Let $G$ be a group. The center of the group, written $Z(G)$, is the set of elements $x\in G$ that commute with every element of $G$, which we can write symbolically as $$Z(G)=\{x\in G\mid gx=xg \text{ for all } g\in G\}.$$
The $Z$ comes from the german word "Zentrum" (see Wikipedia).
