What's the difference between acclimation and condition?
Acclimation
Definition:
(n.) The process of becoming, or the state of being, acclimated, or habituated to a new climate; acclimatization.

(17) Lugworms, Arenicola marina (L.), acclimatized at 16-17 degrees C, were acclimated at temperatures between 5.3 and 25.7 degrees C for 96 h. Whereas in vitro Arenicola blood behaves like a Rosenthal system, in vivo prebranchial blood does not: the higher the acclimation temperature, the lower the pHv and [HCO3]V, PVCO2, remaining practically constant.
(18) In acclimated dehydrated rats, CO distribution to thermoregulatory areas did not change while perfusion of the splanchnic area decreased.
(19) In the hamster, heat acclimation reduces liver weight more than it does body weight.
(20) The above findings suggest that skeletal muscle Mb may be partly involved in an enhanced thermogenesis in cold acclimation by favouring an oxidative capacity of muscles.

(n.) To test or assay, as silk (to ascertain the proportion of moisture it contains).
(n.) train; acclimate.
