variable representing deformation
Etymology
'deformation-variable' originates from the combination of 'deformation' and 'variable', where 'deformation' comes from Latin 'deformare', meaning 'to put out of shape', and 'variable' from Latin 'variabilis', meaning 'changeable'.
'Deformation' changed from the Latin word 'deformare' and 'variable' from 'variabilis', eventually forming the modern English term 'deformation-variable'.
Initially, 'deformation' meant 'to put out of shape', and 'variable' meant 'changeable'. Together, they evolved to describe a variable representing deformation.
