What word sounds like “centrinian” or “sentrinian”?

Question

I heard this word on a British TV show, and it seemed to describe a Halloween costume for a girl. However, I haven't been able to find any meaningful results through search engines. To clarify, the pronunciation sounded like "sen-trin-ian." Does anyone know what this word could be?

ST TRINIAN SCHOOLGIRL COSTUME.   Google search that.

I'm watching that episode of As Time Goes By, and wondered the same thing. Reference to black stockings and such, but when the lady decided to wear some kind of ethic outfit as 'a mistress of Centrinia' and wore like a Scandinavian milk maid outfit, I am more confused. I see no Wikipedia for the word, either. May start with an S, but they definitely say 'Cen-TRI-nian'. Not centurian, of anything about Saint Trinian. You know how the British like to say a word crisp and swift off the tongue, there is no lag in the word.

St Trinian's is depicted as an unorthodox girls school where the younger girls wreak havoc and the older girls express their femininity overtly, turning their shapeless schoolgirl dress into something sexy and risqué by the standards of the times. St Trinian's is often invoked in discussions about groups of schoolgirls running amok.
