tensiometer singular

Morphology

tensiometer = tension (transparent) = tension + meter

The meaning is directly recoverable from 'tension' plus '-meter' as an instrument for measuring.

Etymology

Tensiometer comes from tension 'pull' and -meter 'measure', and for liquids it checks the 'tightness' or pull at the surface, which is why it measures surface tension.
