'temperature-wise' originates from the English word 'temperature' combined with the suffix '-wise', which is used to form adverbs indicating 'in terms of' or 'with respect to'.

'Temperature' comes from the Latin word 'temperatura', and '-wise' is derived from Old English 'wise', meaning 'manner' or 'way'.

Initially, '-wise' was used to indicate direction or manner, and over time it evolved to mean 'in terms of' or 'regarding'.
