WEATHERISE Meaning and
Definition
-
Weatherise, also spelled as "weatherize," is a verb that refers to the act of preparing or adjusting something to protect it from the effects of adverse weather conditions. This term is typically used in the context of safeguarding structures, buildings, or objects against potential damage caused by various weather elements, such as rain, wind, snow, heat, or cold temperatures.
The process of weatherising involves implementing measures or enhancements to improve the capability of a structure or object to withstand and resist the impact of severe weather conditions. This can include adding insulation, sealing gaps or cracks to prevent drafts or leaks, reinforcing windows or doors, installing storm shutters or stronger frames, or applying weather-resistant coatings or materials.
The purpose of weatherising is to enhance energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and prevent weather-related damages. By preparing for extreme weather events, weatherising can help mitigate risks and make structures more durable and resilient. It also contributes to maintaining a comfortable indoor environment and reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling.
Weatherising can be carried out on residential, commercial, or industrial buildings, as well as on a variety of objects, such as vehicles, machinery, or outdoor equipment. By weatherising, one can take proactive measures to protect investments, improve longevity, and ensure safety, all while reducing the potential costs associated with weather damage or energy waste.
Etymology of WEATHERISE
The word "weatherise" is derived from the combination of the words "weather" and "ise".
The word "weather" originated from the Old English word "weder", which referred to atmospheric conditions. It is related to the Old High German word "wetar" and the Gothic word "wato" meaning "wind" or "tempest". Over time, "weather" has come to encompass various atmospheric conditions, such as temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation.
The suffix "-ise" is derived from the Old French "-iser", which originated from the Latin "-izare", itself derived from the Greek verb ending "-izein". This suffix is used to form verbs indicating the action or process of making or becoming something, often resulting in a specific state or condition.
