centigrade
Hundred-degree thermometer system
Centigrade is a temperature scale where water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees at standard atmospheric pressure.
The term divides the range into one hundred gradations.
Now usually called Celsius, centigrade remains common in everyday speech: The forecast says thirty centigrade tomorrow.
