Latent means hidden. Let us imagine that we have placed a container with water on a stove. A thermometer is inserted to note down the temperature now and then. As heat is handed over to the water in the container, its temperature rises. Say initially the temperature was 20 deg celcius. Now the temperature would go through 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, 97, 98, 98.5, 98.9 and 100 deg. After 100 is reached though heat is continuously supplied, there won't be any rise thereafter. Now the question arises. Where does the heat go? The heat given is utilized not to rise the temperature but to covert each gram of water into vapour ie steam. Hence this heat is hidden and not sensed by the thermometer. So it is named as Latent heat of vapourisation.
Same way if we supply heat to an ice block with temperature -5 deg celcius, the temperature initially rises through -4, -3, -2, -1, -0.3, 0 deg celcius. After it reaches 0 deg, the temperature will be there itself. But heat is continuously given to the ice block. But no temperature rise. Here too the heat given is hidden and is used to melt every kilo gram of ice into water. Hence change of state. So Latent heat of melting or fusion of ice.
The definition of Heat Energy is The energy created by conduction. : )
Heat that originates from inside the earth.

Thermogenesis
Thermochemistry is the branch of physical chemistry that deals with the study of the energy changes that occur during chemical reactions and phase transitions. It involves the measurement of heat and other energy forms associated with chemical reactions and the calculation of related quantities, such as enthalpy and internal energy.
Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat through a material by the collision of molecules. It occurs in solids, liquids, and gases and is governed by the material's thermal conductivity and temperature difference.

heat fusion is to join things together by heat. ie plastic welding.

Coldness and heat are two opposite ends of the temperature spectrum. Heat refers to the presence of thermal energy in an object, causing it to feel warm, while coldness is the absence of thermal energy, resulting in a sensation of coolness. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, with higher temperatures corresponding to more kinetic energy and vice versa.
Heat is a form of energy that can be transferred between objects due to a temperature difference. It flows from hot objects to cold objects and is measured in units of joules or calories.
