Etymology
The word 'tumidity' originates from the Latin 'tumiditas', derived from 'tumidus', meaning 'swollen' or 'inflated'. The Latin root 'tumere' means 'to swell', which reflects the core idea of the term. It was first recorded in English usage in the 17th century, emerging in contexts relating to both physical and atmospheric conditions. The evolution of the word has maintained its connotation of excess moisture or swelling, both in medical literature and in environmental discussions. Over time, it has remained a specialized term primarily used in scientific and medical fields to describe various conditions of excess fluid or humidity.
