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).
• The term "air conditioner" originates from English and consists of two words:

1. Air: Refers to the atmosphere or the gaseous substance we breathe.
2. 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.
