It means “measure.” For instance. Themometer measures temperature. Odometer measures speed.

Meterstick – ruler; measuring stick

Dragon’sFire, thanks, but I caught it as soon as I saw it (& before you typed your response). Thanks anyway.

And trust me…I’m aware that meteorology studies weather and changes to the atmosphere. …from the Greek, “meteoron,” meaning ‘high in the sky’ and “logos,” meaning ‘knowledge.’

Thanks though.

meter in that sense is a counter, counts or measures, like your electricity meter. metering. altimeter, barometer,

oceanmeter, kilometer, tetrameter, voltameter, hertzameter,

aerameter,

Edit-Faith, the word is meteorology. not to do with a meter.

That’s ok Faith, but when you correct something or add something use edit, like I do !.

I am Greek, but thanks for the explanations of those words!EdIt

You used edit to take it out fool, but You didn’t write it, ok?

and keep the names to yourself. Good girl!.

I dont know whose answer is better!, but it may not have been before you took out your misspelled word that stood for meteorologist!. in a very sneaky way.
