From 1744 until 1954, 0 °Centigrade was defined as the freezing point of water and 100 °Centigrade was defined as the boiling point of water., There are 100 degrees in that scale between those two basic points. The "Centigrade" term came from the latin "centum" translated as 100 and "gradus" translated as "steps.
"Celsius" used now for temperature measurements has replaced Centigrade. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701–1744), who developed a similar temperature scale.
