Morphology
eriometer = meter (opaque) = erio + meter
The word is a technical formation built on the measuring-instrument suffix '-meter', but the combining form 'erio-' is not transparent to most learners.
Etymology
The word eriometer comes from Greek parts erio- meaning 'wool' and -meter meaning 'measure', the same -meter in thermometer. So an eriometer is a tool for measuring the thickness of very small fibers, originally wool, and tiny particles today.
