Etymology
'anemometrical' originates from Greek, specifically the words 'anemos' meaning 'wind' and 'metron' meaning 'measure,' combined with the English suffix '-ical' meaning 'pertaining to.'
'anemometrical' was formed in English from 'anemometer' (itself from Greek roots) plus '-ical,' and eventually became the modern English adjective 'anemometrical.'
Initially, it meant 'pertaining to the measurement of wind,' and this meaning has remained consistent in modern usage.
