anemometern.

Brit.

/ˌanᵻˈmɒmᵻtə/, U.S.

/ˌænəˈmɑmədər/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: anemo- comb. form, -meter comb. form².

Etymology: < anemo- comb. form + -meter comb. form².In sense 1 after French anémomètre (1679), post-classical Latin anemometrum (1718 in an Italian source, or earlier), or Italian anemometro (1710 or earlier). The instrument defined at sense 2 was invented by Christian Förner, who called it (in German) Windwaage , literally ‘wind-gauge’; compare earlier wind-gauge n. 2.

1. An instrument used to measure the speed (and sometimes also the direction) of the wind; (in later use also) an instrument for measuring the speed (and sometimes also the direction) of a current of any gas.The various different types of anemometers vary greatly in form and operation, from relatively simple mechanical devices consisting of several hemispherical cups which rotate around a vertical shaft, to instruments employing lasers or ultrasound.

1821 Q. Musical Mag. & Rev. 3 316 The invention of the anemometer to measure the exact quantity of wind necessary to each register by a German organ builder named Christian Færner [sic], of Wettin on the Saale, in the seventeenth century, has greatly aided in bringing the organ to state of perfection.

1876 J. Hiles Catech. Organ (1878) viii. 55 A wind-gauge, or anemometer..is a small curved glass tube into which a little water is poured, and it is then placed in one of the pipe holes on the sound board.

1947 Proc. Royal Musical Assoc., 73rd Session 63 In the 17th century the anemometer was invented and special attention was given to the problem of securing an ample, even and steady supply of wind.
