'arctic-residing' originates from the combination of 'arctic,' which comes from the Greek word 'arktikos,' meaning 'of the bear,' and 'residing,' from the Latin 'residere,' meaning 'to sit back or remain.'

'arctic' changed from the Greek word 'arktikos' to the Latin 'arcticus,' and eventually became the modern English word 'arctic.' 'Residing' evolved from the Latin 'residere' to the Old French 'resider,' and eventually became the modern English word 'reside.'

Initially, 'arctic' referred to the constellation of the Great Bear, but over time it evolved to mean the northern polar region. 'Residing' has maintained its meaning of 'living or dwelling in a place.'
