fahrenheit

/ˈfɛɹənˌhaɪt/ adj

Describing a temperature scale originally defined as having 0°F as the lowest temperature obtainable with a mixture of ice and salt, and 96°F as the temperature of the human body, and now defined with 32°F equal to 0°C, and each degree Fahrenheit equal to 5/9 of a degree Celsius or 5/9 kelvin.

Word Origin Named after Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, the German physicist who invented the temperature scale. His surname comes from German fahren 'to travel' + -heit 'state, condition' — literally 'traveling state,' perhaps an ancestor was a traveler. The root fahren is related to English fare, farewell, and ford. So the temperature scale is named after a 'traveler.'

The recipe requires baking at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 45 minutes.
