Word origin
[1840–50; anemo- + -metry]This word is first recorded in the period 1840–50. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: colloid, dope, layout, organizer, sensationalism-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: dolorimetry, psychometry, stoichiometry, thermometry, trigonometry
