relation between electronegativity and acidic character

Main relation is increase in electronrgativity leds to increase in acidic character.
As we know,
the more electronegative, the more electrons there are in a similarly sized space.
More concentrated electrons = more stable base = weaker acid.
But electronegativity = more concentrated electrons (even though size trumps it).
electronegativity = stronger acid.
