celcius
UK: ˈsɛlsiəs | US: ˈsɛlsiəs
adj. relating to or denoting a scale of temperature in which water freezes at 0° and boils at 100° under standard conditions.
The word "Celsius" originates from the Latin celsus, meaning "high" or "lofty," combined with the suffix -ius, forming an adjective. It was named after Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701–1744), who devised the centigrade temperature scale. The term reflects the original Latin meaning of elevation, metaphorically extended to the measurement of temperature gradients.
