Etymology
'moderate-climate-living' is a compound word formed from 'moderate,' 'climate,' and 'living.' 'Moderate' originates from Latin 'moderatus,' meaning 'restrained.' 'Climate' comes from Greek 'klima,' meaning 'region or zone.' 'Living' is derived from Old English 'libban,' meaning 'to live.'
'Moderate' evolved from Latin 'moderatus' to Middle English 'moderate.' 'Climate' transitioned from Greek 'klima' to Latin 'clima,' and then to Middle English 'climat.' 'Living' changed from Old English 'libban' to Middle English 'liven.'
Initially, 'moderate' meant 'restrained or controlled,' 'climate' referred to 'a region or zone,' and 'living' meant 'to be alive.' Over time, these meanings combined to describe a lifestyle in regions with mild weather.
