  • After decades of an elusive search, nobody expected that condensates would be so robust and relatively easy to manipulate.
  • Bose condensate
  • Einstein condensate
  • multicomponent condensates

Morphology

condensate = condense (transparent) = condense + ate

Formed from the verb 'condense' with the suffix '-ate' to denote the substance produced by condensation, so the meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

Condensate comes from the verb condense, which is made of con- 'together' and densus 'thick' and shares the same root as dense. So condensate is the liquid that forms when a gas or vapour cools and the particles come together and become thicker.
