Etymology
'constant-temperature' originates from the combination of 'constant' and 'temperature'. 'Constant' comes from Latin 'constans', meaning 'standing firm', and 'temperature' comes from Latin 'temperatura', meaning 'a moderate condition'.
'Constant' evolved from the Latin 'constans' through Old French 'constant', while 'temperature' evolved from Latin 'temperatura' through Old French 'temperature'.
Initially, 'constant' meant 'standing firm', and 'temperature' referred to 'a moderate condition'. Together, they now describe a state where temperature remains unchanged.
