consistent temperature
Etymology
'uniform-temperature' originates from the combination of 'uniform' and 'temperature', where 'uniform' comes from Latin 'uniformis', meaning 'having one form', and 'temperature' from Latin 'temperatura', meaning 'a mixture or moderation'.
'uniform' changed from the Latin word 'uniformis' and 'temperature' from 'temperatura', eventually forming the modern English term 'uniform-temperature'.
Initially, 'uniform' meant 'having one form', and 'temperature' referred to 'a mixture or moderation'. Over time, 'uniform-temperature' evolved to mean a consistent temperature.
