Pronunciation
- (Southern-England) audio
- /ˌɛndəʊˈθəːmɪk/
Etymology
Borrowed from French endothermique, from endo- (“inside”) + thermique (“of heat”), both ultimately from Ancient Greek. By surface analysis, endo- + -thermic.
Meanings
-
Of a chemical reaction that absorbs heat energy from its surroundings.
These can be differentiated on a thermal scan where an endothermic transition indicates enantiotropes and an exothermic transition indicates monotropes .
2014, William J. Brock, Barbara Mounho, Lijie Fu, The Role of the Study Director in Nonclinical Studies, page 174:
- Of an animal whose body temperature is regulated by internal factors.
