Answer:
A heat meauring device.
Explanation:
'thermo-' referring to heat.
'meter' meaning measuring device.
'Thermometer': A heat measuring device.
For your information:
1. Word Roots
We get different feels for each words, it is mostly because it is derived from different regions:
- 6% Greek (ex: thermo, book)
- 26% Germanic (ex: pig)
- 26% French (ex: pork)
- 29% Latin (ex: peace, hand)
- 10% Others
French gives formal/classy feels: Pork, beef (meat).
Germanic gives informal feels: Pig, cow (meat).
2. Anglish?
Germanic word only takes up to 26% of total English words.
Anglish is an effort to replace any words not Germanic, so that Germanic takes 100%.
ex) 'thermo-' (Greek) ↔ 'warm, hot' (Germanic)
Thermometer will be 'warmthmeter, heatmeter' in Anglish.
