(energy-stabilise)
make energy steady
Etymology
'energy-stabilising' is a compound formed from 'energy' and 'stabilise'. 'Energy' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'energeia', and 'stabilise' originates from Latin/French, via Latin 'stabilis' and French 'stabiliser'.
'energy' passed from Greek 'energeia' into Latin and later into Middle English as 'energy'; 'stabilis' (Latin) led to French 'stabiliser', which was borrowed into English as 'stabilise' and then combined with 'energy' to form the modern compound 'energy-stabilising'.
Initially, 'energy' referred to activity or force and 'stabilis' meant firm or steady; over time the compound came to mean specifically the process or property that makes energy output or levels steady ('make energy steady').
