Etymology

セ (se) is a katakana abbreviation of 摂氏 (せっし, Celsius), from the first character 摂. 氏 (し) means 'Mr./Ms.' or 'clan' but here is part of the term for a temperature scale. 温度 (おんど) means 'temperature'. The exact derivation of セ氏 as a hybrid form is uncertain, but it is a recognized variant.
