Root Explanation

Volumetrically → It is formed from "volume" (from Latin "volumen", meaning a roll or scroll, which refers to a three-dimensional space) and "-tric" (from Greek "metron", meaning measure) combined with the adverbial suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word "volumetrically" means in a manner that relates to measuring volume or three-dimensional space.

Memory Tip

Think of measuring a 'volume' (the space something occupies) and doing it in a specific 'manner' ('-ly'). This helps you remember that 'volumetrically' refers to measuring in terms of volume.
