sensorn.

Brit.

/ˈsɛnsə/, U.S.

/ˈsɛnsər/

Origin: Probably of multiple origins. Probably partly formed within English, by derivation. Probably partly formed within English, by conversion. Etymons: sense v., -or suffix; sensor adj.

Etymology: Probably partly < sense v. + -or suffix, and partly (in sense 2a) < sensor adj. With sense 1 compare post-classical Latin sensorium sensorium n.

†1. The nose (as the site of the sense of smell). Obsolete. rare.

1956 G. R. Harrison What Man may Be vii.144 Humans appear to have four kinds of taste sensors which respectively respond by giving the sensations we call sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.

1969 T. A. Sebeok Approaches to Semiotics 1 201 Some organisms have sensors for chemicals in solution or dispersed in air (taste and smell), sensors for light (vision), sensors for pressure changes (tactile perception or hearing), or still other sensors involving, for example, parts of the electromagnetic spectrum besides the visual portion.

c. An electronic component of a camera system that converts light (or waves from another part of the electromagnetic spectrum) into electrical signals, which can in turn be processed to form an image; (in later use) esp. a component of this kind in a digital camera, webcam, etc. Also more fully image sensor.
