The process of becoming adjusted or accustomed to a new climate, environment, or set of conditions.
From French 'acclimation,' derived from 'acclimater,' which combines 'à' (to) and 'climat' (climate). The '-tion' suffix denotes the action or process.
Remarkably, acclimation isn't just about mental adjustment—physiologically, animals literally change their body composition, metabolism, and even gene expression within weeks to months of entering a new climate!
