aestivation
This term describes a biological survival strategy specifically triggered by high temperatures and arid conditions. It is the summer equivalent of hibernation, focusing on the prevention of water loss and the slowing of metabolic processes to endure environmental extremes.
Because it refers to a specific physiological state or process, the word is treated as an uncountable noun. It describes a phenomenon rather than a discrete object, meaning it does not typically take a plural form and cannot be counted with numbers.
