'temperature-variant' originates from the combination of 'temperature' and 'variant', where 'temperature' refers to the degree of heat present in a substance or object, and 'variant' refers to something that differs from others of the same kind.
The term 'temperature-variant' combines the words 'temperature' and 'variant', which have been used in English since the 15th and 16th centuries, respectively.
Initially, 'temperature' and 'variant' were used separately, but over time they have been combined to describe changes in temperature.
