Root Explanation

Coulometric → It is formed from "coulomb" (named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, a French physicist, meaning a unit of electric charge) and "-metric" (from Greek "metron", meaning measure). The word refers to the measurement of electric charge in coulombs.

Memory Tip

Think of measuring electric charge, as 'coulomb' is the unit of charge and '-metric' relates to measurement.
