Root Explanation

Magnetometric → It is formed from "magnet" (from Greek "magnētis" meaning magnet or lodestone) and "-metric" (from Greek "metron" meaning measure). The word "magnetometric" refers to the measurement of magnetic fields or properties.

Memory Tip

Think of 'magnet' as something that attracts and 'metric' as a way to measure — so magnetometric relates to measuring magnetic forces.
