Etymology
The term 'balmier' comes from the adjective 'balmy', which has its origins in the early 17th century. The word 'balmy' derives from 'balm', referring to a fragrant ointment or oil that has a soothing or restorative effect. 'Balm' itself is rooted in the Latin word 'balmifer', meaning 'to soothe' or 'to heal'. Over time, the term 'balmy' expanded in meaning to describe not only physical sensations but also pleasant, mild weather conditions that feel soothing, reminiscent of a balm. The comparative form 'balmier' emerged to describe an even more pleasant and favorable climate, highlighting a specific condition in which the weather is notably agreeable.
