Etymology

The word 'climate' originated from the Greek word 'klima', meaning inclination or latitude zone. It was first used in English in the 14th century to describe the prevailing weather conditions of a region. Over time, the term evolved to encompass the broader concept of long-term weather patterns. Climate science as a field of study emerged in the 19th century with the recognition of climate as a key factor in understanding Earth's natural systems and human impact on the environment.
