Etymology
'temperature-variable' originates from the combination of 'temperature' and 'variable', where 'temperature' refers to the degree of heat present in a substance or object, and 'variable' means capable of being changed or adapted.
The term 'temperature-variable' combines the words 'temperature' from Latin 'temperatura' and 'variable' from Latin 'variabilis'.
Initially, it meant 'capable of changing with temperature', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
