Origin and Evolution of tropical

First Known Use: 1520 year
Language of Origin: Late Latin and Greek
Story behind the word: The word 'tropical' originated from the Late Latin word 'tropicus', which came from the Greek word 'tropikos' meaning 'of or pertaining to the solstice'.
Evolution of the word: Originally used to describe regions near the equator where the sun reaches a point directly overhead at least once during the solar year, the term 'tropical' has evolved to also refer to warm, humid climates and lush vegetation found in these regions.
