Baumén.

/ˈbəʊmeɪ/

Forms: Also erron. Beaumé.

Etymology: < the name of Antoine Baumé (1728–1804), French chemist and inventor, in 1768, of a hydrometer, of which the scale is uniformly graduated.

Used in the possessive, also attributively and elliptically, to denote the hydrometer scale introduced by Baumé.
