Root Explanation

Spectrometric → It is formed from "spectrum" (from Latin *spectrum*, meaning appearance or image) and "-metric" (from Greek *metron*, meaning measure). The word "spectrometric" refers to the measurement of spectra or the analysis of light and other electromagnetic radiation.

Memory Tip

Think of 'spectrum' as the 'appearance' of light and '-metric' as 'measuring' it — that's how spectrometric relates to measuring different appearances of light.
