geometry = geo + metr + y
The word is built from recognizable classical combining forms meaning 'earth' and 'measurement', but the modern mathematical sense is specialized and not directly predictable for many learners.
Etymology
The word geometry comes from Greek parts geo- 'earth', as in geography, and -metry from metron 'measure'. Long ago people used geometry to measure land and fields, so it meant 'measuring the earth', which is why today it is the study of points, lines and shapes.
