Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: auto- comb. form¹, -metric comb. form.

Etymology: < auto- comb. form¹ + -metric comb. form, after autometry n.

†a. Relating to the expression of the dimensions of a figure in terms of its height. Cf. autometry n. 2. Obsolete. rare.

1874 Edinb. Rev. No. 285. 191 Autometric division or delineation of figures in terms of their entire height.

b. Designating a vessel and stopper designed to allow a fixed quantity of liquid to be withdrawn from the vessel. Now rare.Invented by F. W. Fletcher (1853–1933), of the firm of Fletcher, Fletcher, and Stevenson, London.
