centigrade

Adjective

same as Celsius

USAGE: Although still used in meteorology, centigrade, when indicating the Celsius scale of temperature, is now usually avoided in other scientific contexts because of its possible confusion with the hundredth part of a grade.

centigrade  (snt-grd)

See Celsius, Anders.

Usage Because of confusion over the prefix centi-, which originally meant 100 but developed the meaning ¹/₁₀₀ , scientists agreed to stop using the term centigrade in 1948. The term Celsius is now standard.
