OK, All right, in this regard, thermal resistance is very like regular resistance, right?
-
But in a practical sense, we are within plus or minus X degrees and we can handle Y degrees per Watt and our thermal resistance is the XYZ.
-
Metallized ceramics provide excellent hermeticity, thermal resistance, and insulation properties combined with high strength and clean vacuums.

Between the two lies an optimal spacing—an optimal package architecture—that minimizes the thermal resistance between the system and the environment.

The resistance analogy lets us simplify the problem by combining the resistances of the various layers into a total thermal resistance for the entire wall, just as resistances in an electrical circuit can be used to calculate a total electrical resistance.
Academic text (2007) -
Ultimately, an optimal rectangular shape can be found to minimize the thermal resistance between the element and the exit end of its high-conductivity fiber. The same geometric optimization principle applies at larger scales.
Academic text (1997) -
However, TS-SMPs are usually brittle and easy to show brittle failure phenomena during the process of folding and deployment, but toughening modifications often lead to deterioration of thermal resistance.

For effective energy conservation, buildings should have high thermal resistance to reduce heat transfer.

Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'thermal' (related to heat) with 'resistance' (opposition to flow); a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to opposition to heat transfer. Although the term is technical and used in physics/engineering, its compositional logic is straightforward and cross-linguistically transparent.
Etymology
The noun thermal resistance gives a simple image: thermal means 'heat' and resistance means 'stopping'. Imagine a thick coat or an insulated mug that keeps 'heat' inside — thermal resistance is how well a material stops 'heat' from moving through it.
