Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Etymons: Greek ἀδιάβατος , -ic suffix.

Etymology: < ancient Greek ἀδιάβατος not to be passed through ( < ἀ- a- prefix⁶ + δια- dia- prefix¹ + βατός , verbal adjective corresponding to βαίνειν to go: see basis n.) + -ic suffix. Compare isodiabatic adj.

1859 W. J. M. Rankine Man. Steam Engine iii. iii. 302 A certain curve NN passing through A, which may be called a curve of no transmission, or adiabatic curve.

1877 R. Wormell Thermodynamics 130 If a substance can expand without gain or loss of heat, and a curve is drawn..this curve is termed an adiabatic line.

1922 R. Glazebrook Dict. Appl. Physics I. 946/2 The calculation fixes a point in the adiabatic line of the pressure-volume diagram for expansion from the initial conditions.

2004 P. A. Tipler & G. Mosca Physics Scientists & Engineers (ed. 5) I. xviii. 582 We can find the equation for the adiabatic curve for an ideal gas by using the equation of state.

2. Of a process or condition: that is one in which heat does not enter or leave the system concerned; of or relating to such a process or condition. Also (of an enclosed space): impassable to heat.
