Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin mensuration-, mensuratio.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin mensuration-, mensuratio act of measuring (Vetus Latina) < mensurat- , past participial stem of mensurare (see measure v.) + -io -ion suffix¹. Compare Old Occitan mensuratio, mensuracio (14th cent.), Middle French mensuration (1520; French mensuration (1803) is probably a reborrowing).

a. The action, process, or art of measuring; measurement.
