Root Explanation

Psychrometric → It is formed from "psyche" (from Greek "psukhē", meaning soul or mind) and "metron" (from Greek "metron", meaning measure). The word refers to the measurement of the properties of air, particularly humidity and temperature, relating to the mind's perception of comfort.

Memory Tip

Think of 'measuring' ('metron') the 'soul' or 'mind' ('psyche') in terms of air properties — that's how psychrometric relates to measuring humidity and temperature.
