What does acpitz mean in the context of pc temperature?

Question

linux

Using python, I find out the temperature:

import psutil
print(psutil.sensors_temperatures())

Outputs:

{'acpitz': [shwtemp(label='', current=39.0, high=105.0, critical=105.0)], 
'coretemp': [shwtemp(label='Physical id 0', current=48.0, high=105.0, critical=105.0), 
shwtemp(label='Core 0', current=42.0, high=105.0, critical=105.0),
shwtemp(label='Core 1', current=48.0, high=105.0, critical=105.0)]}

Coretemp seems to be clear, the temperature of the cores (well, except for the first element). What does apitz mean?
