"Slope", "inclination", or "latitude" are the meanings of the Greek term klima (κλίμα). It was used to characterize the average temperature of a region and the inclination of the Earth's surface toward the equator in Greek mathematical geography and astronomy.
The Greek verb klinein, which meaning "to lean," is where the word klima originates. Through Middle English, which acquired it from Middle French, which took it from Late Latin, the word "climate" made its way into the English language. Before it was first used to describe meteorological conditions in the 16th century, the word "climate" was in use in English for more than a century.
