Etymology
Densimeter starts with dens- (from a Latin word meaning 'thick', seen in dense and density) and ends with meter ('measure', as in thermometer). So, a densimeter is a device that 'measures how heavy something is for its size', which explains why it is used to find density or specific gravity.
