'alkalimetrical' originates from 'alkali' and the suffix '-metrical', where 'alkali' refers to a basic, ionic salt of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, and '-metrical' pertains to measurement.

'alkalimetrical' evolved from the combination of 'alkali' and the suffix '-metrical', which was used in scientific contexts to describe measurement-related terms.

Initially, it meant 'related to the measurement of alkalis', and this meaning has remained consistent in modern usage.
