Morphology
manometer = mano + meter
The word contains the measurable-instrument element '-meter', but the combining form 'mano-' is not transparent to most learners, so the overall meaning is not readily recoverable from the parts.
Etymology
Manometer comes from Greek parts mano- meaning 'thin' and -meter meaning 'measure', like in thermometer. So a manometer measures how 'thin' or 'dense' a gas or liquid is, which is why we use it to check pressure.
