econometrics = econometric (transparent) = econom + metrics
The noun names the field formed from 'econom(o)-' (economy/economic) plus 'metrics' (measurement), so learners can infer the meaning from the components.
Etymology
Econometrics combines economy ('money and resources') and metric ('measure'), so it literally means 'measuring the economy'. That's why econometrics uses math and statistics to measure and study economic data.
