thermometer 
1633, from Fr. thermomètre (1624), coined by Jesuit Father Leuréchon from Gk. thermos "hot" (see thermal) + metron "measure" (see meter (2)). An earlier, Latinate form was thermoscopium (1617). The earliest such device was Galileo's air-thermometer, invented c.1597.

thermometer   (thər-mŏm'ĭ-tər)  Pronunciation Key 
An instrument used to measure temperature. There are many types of thermometers; the most common consist of a closed, graduated glass tube in which a liquid expands or contracts as the temperature increases or decreases. Other types of thermometers work by detecting changes in the volume or pressure of an enclosed gas or by registering thermoelectric changes in a conductor (such as a thermistor or thermocouple).
