### **Origin**

- The word "*air conditioner*" is derived from the French word "*climat*" (climate), which was adopted into Turkish. The French word itself comes from the Greek word "*klima*" (slope).

- **Conditioner**: Derived from "condition," meaning to regulate or modify something to achieve a desired state.
- The term "air conditioning" was first coined by **Stuart W. Cramer** in a 1906 patent claim. Cramer was exploring ways to add moisture to the air in his textile mill and described this process as "*air conditioning.*" Later, Willis Carrier adopted the term and incorporated it into the name of his company.
