Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer in 1714, but it is unknown exactly how many he made. It divided the freezing and boiling points of water into 180 degrees. 32Â°F was the freezing point of water and 212Â°F was the boiling point of water, set by Fahrenheit himself. 0Â°F was based on the temperature of an equal mixture of water, ice, and salt. Fahrenheit based his scale on the temperature of the human body.
The German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit was the eponym for the temperature scale still used today. This is an excerpt from his famous publication on the freezing point of water: As the other answers have already pointed out, Fahrenheit is simply the name of the physicist who invented that temperature scale. However, since the German language makes good use of word compositions, one could try to construct something from its only possible parts, Fahren and Heit. Fahren is an infinitive form of a verb and can be translated to to drive.
