Constantes (noun and adjective)
/konsˈtantes/
In Spanish, "constantes" refers to values that do not change in a mathematical or scientific context (constants) and can also describe something that is steady or unchanging (constant). The term is frequently used in polytechnical fields like physics, mathematics, and engineering.
The word is relatively common in both oral and written contexts, especially in technical and educational materials. In everyday language, it may not be as frequently employed unless the conversation pertains to relevant fields.

The term "constante" comes from the Latin constans, which means "standing firm," derived from constare meaning "to stand together, remain firm." The word has preserved this notion of stability throughout its evolution.
