Morphology
cytometry = cyto + metry
Formed from the bound scientific combining form 'cyto-' (cell) + the bound suffix '-metry' (measurement); both are technical bound morphemes not recognizable as standalone English words, so an average B1 learner cannot reliably derive the meaning.
Etymology
The word cytometry comes from the Greek parts cyto- meaning 'cell' and -metry meaning 'measurement', like in thermometer or speedometer. So, cytometry is the measuring and analysis of cells.
