Surface Forms

thermogravimeter singular

Morphology

thermogravimeter = gravimeter (semi-transparent) = thermo + gravi + meter

The word is formed by adding the recognizable prefix thermo- to the technical base gravimeter, so the structural relation is straightforward.

Etymology

The word thermogravimeter breaks into three parts: thermo- 'heat', as in thermometer, grav- 'weight', as in gravity, and -meter 'measure'. So a thermogravimeter is like a 'heat-weight-measurer', a tool that measures both the temperature and how heavy a liquid is for its size.
