the measuring of oxygen saturation of the blood by means of an oximeter
Word origin
[1940–45; ox- + -i- + -metry]This word is first recorded in the period 1940–45. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: black box, blockbuster, redline, sealant, snorkelox- is a combining form meaning “containing oxygen”. Other words that use the affix ox- include: cefoxitin, diphenoxylate, isoxsuprine, thromboxane, thyroxine; -i- is the typical ending of the first element of compounds of Latin words, as -o- is of Greek words, but often used in English with a first element of any origin,if the second element is of Latin origin. Other words that use the affix -i- include: Frenchify, cuneiform; -metry is a combining form with the meaning “the process of measuring” that specified bythe initial element. Other words that use the affix -metry include: allometry, coulometry, dolorimetry, optometry, psychometry
