Definition
Relating to heat, thermal energy, or calories; also historically referring to caloric theory, the now-disproven idea that heat was a weightless fluid.
Etymology
From Latin 'calor' (heat) with the adjectival suffix '-ic'. The term became prominent in 18th-century physics when scientists proposed 'caloric' as the substance of heat itself.
Kelly Says
For about 150 years, brilliant scientists believed heat was an invisible, weightless substance called 'caloric' that flowed between objects—it was completely wrong, but the theory was so logical that it took experiments with friction to finally disprove it.
