Etymology
The word 'tropical' originated in the late 16th century from the Greek word 'tropikos', meaning 'of or pertaining to the solstice'. It was first used to describe the regions of the Earth near the equator where the sun appears directly overhead at least once during the year. Over time, 'tropical' has come to be associated with warm, humid climates and lush vegetation characteristic of the tropics.
