uranometryn.

Brit.

/ˌjʊərəˈnɒmᵻtri/,

/ˌjɔːrəˈnɒmᵻtri/, U.S.

/ˌjʊrəˈnɑmətri/

Forms: 1600s vranometry, 1600s– uranometry, 1800s– ouranometry.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: urano- comb. form¹, -metry comb. form.

Etymology: < urano- comb. form¹ + -metry comb. form, after post-classical Latin uranometria uranometria n. Compare French uranométrie (1733 or earlier), German Uranometrie (1720 or earlier). Compare slightly earlier uranometrical adj.

1. A work describing the heavens and esp. the stars, giving their positions, magnitudes, etc. Cf. uranoscopy n. 1. Now chiefly historical.
