acidimetric positive

Morphology

acidimetric = acid (semi-transparent) = acid + metric

The meaning is formed from 'acid' + the measuring-related element '-metric'; the combination is clear but the term is technical and the combining vowel and specialized usage may not be transparent to general learners.

Etymology

Acidimetric joins acid ('sour') and -metric which comes from a word meaning 'measure', the same idea you see in meter and metric. So acidimetric is about 'measuring' acids, especially finding how strong an acid is.
