Morphology

thermohydrometer = hydrometer (semi-transparent) = thermo + hydro + meter

Adding thermo- to hydrometer straightforwardly yields an instrument that also measures temperature.

Etymology

The word thermohydrometer combines thermo- 'heat', hydro- 'water', and -meter 'measure', like the familiar tools thermometer and hydrometer. So a thermohydrometer is a tool that measures both temperature and density, where density means 'how heavy a liquid is for its size'.
