/ˈtɛmpərət rɪˈzaɪdɪŋ/
living in moderate climates
Etymology
'temperate-residing' originates from the combination of 'temperate,' which comes from Latin 'temperatus,' meaning 'moderate,' and 'residing,' derived from Latin 'residere,' meaning 'to sit back or remain.'
'temperate' evolved from the Latin 'temperatus' through Old French 'temperé,' while 'residing' transformed from Latin 'residere' through Old French 'resider.'
Initially, 'temperate' meant 'moderate in behavior,' but over time it evolved to describe climate. 'Residing' has maintained its meaning of 'living in a place.'
