Morphology

viscometric = metric (semi-transparent) = visco + metric

The relation to 'metric' (relating to measurement) is clear, but 'visco-' is a technical combining form (relating to viscosity) that is not a standalone common word for many learners.

Etymology

Viscometric breaks into visco- and -metric. Think of visco- as in viscous, meaning 'sticky' or 'thick', and -metric meaning 'to measure', so viscometric is about measuring how 'sticky' or 'thick' a liquid is.
