Morphology

thermometric = thermometer (transparent) = thermo + meter + ic

The adjective is a regular and direct derivation from 'thermometer' with the suffix '-ic', so the meaning is readily recoverable.

Etymology

Thermometric comes from thermo- 'heat' and -metric 'measure', the same parts you see in thermometer and in words with meter that mean a device to measure. So, thermometric describes things that are about measuring temperature or the tools that measure heat.
