Definition
Measurements of how hot or cold something is, typically measured in degrees using scales like Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Etymology
From Latin 'temperatura' (proper proportion or balance), from 'temperare' (to mix or moderate). The word originally meant 'balanced mixture' before becoming specific to heat measurement.
Kelly Says
The word 'temperature' comes from the idea of temperance—'temperate' meaning balanced and moderate. This reveals something fascinating: our ancestors thought of heat in terms of balance, not just raw numbers, which is why we still say 'moderate temperature.'
