Gravimetric

from Word of the Day · host Word of the Day

Gravimetric is an adjective that means related to the measurement of weight. Our word of the day comes from the Latin word gravis (GRAV is) which means ‘heavy.’ You could think of gravimetric as something related to the measurement of how heavy something is. Example: When Andy didn’t like what had been announced as his weight, he complained about gravimetric means of finding this number. But the hard truth was it wasn’t the scale’s fault.
