Morphology
audiometric = audiometry (transparent) = audio + metry + ic
Formed from 'audiometry' + the adjectival suffix '-ic', giving a clear meaning 'relating to the measurement of hearing'.
Etymology
Audiometric comes from audio ('sound' or 'hearing') and metric ('measure'), like the 'meter' in a speedometer or thermometer. So an audiometric test measures how well someone hears.
