Etymology
The word refractometer joins refract-, a root meaning 'to bend' or 'break' as in fracture, and -meter, meaning 'measure' as in thermometer. So a refractometer is a tool that measures how much light 'bends' when it goes through a liquid, which lets you tell how much sugar or other material is in the liquid.
