Origin: A borrowing from Italian. Etymon: Italian algometro.

Etymology: < Italian algometro (C. Lombroso 1867, in Annali universali di medicina 200 114; compare quot. 1867 at algometry n., which is taken from an abstract of this article; < ancient Greek ἄλγος pain (see -algia comb. form) + Italian -metro -meter comb. form², perhaps after German Algometer (1802 or earlier)), with remodelling of the second element after -meter comb. form².

1984 Brain Res. 324 142/2 The nociceptive pressure on the skin was produced by an algometer.

2011 Jrnl. Sci. & Med. in Sport 14 477 The algometer was applied to the patellar tendon in 20 asymptomatic volleyball players to measure the ‘normal’ pressure pain threshold.
