I believe that the core keyword of Buddha Dhamma is addiction.

Tanha and upadana explain the mechanism of addiction.

Avijja represents the ignorance that leads one to fall into addiction.

Sankhara, vinnana, and namarupa describe how addiction is reinforced.

Salayatana, phassa, and vedana illustrate how stimuli cues are received.

Bhava and jati explain how addiction results within an extended worldview.

Dukkhakhanda portrays all suffering as a manifestation of the consequences of addiction.

Sila is broken because of kama assada.

Panna is seeing the adinava of kama assada.

Niramisa sukha is felt when one is free from addiction.
