'climate-balancing' originates from the combination of 'climate' and 'balance', where 'climate' refers to the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period, and 'balance' refers to an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady.

'Climate' and 'balance' have been used in English since the 14th century, with 'climate' deriving from the Latin 'clima' and 'balance' from the Latin 'bilanx'.

Initially, 'balance' meant 'scales for weighing', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'equilibrium'.
