'analemma' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'analemma,' where it meant 'the pedestal of a sundial' or 'support.'

'analemma' changed from the Latin word 'analemma' and eventually became the modern English word 'analemma.'

Initially, it meant 'the pedestal of a sundial,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a diagram showing the sun’s position throughout the year.'
