Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro From Middle English metere (one who measures, measurer), perhaps (with change in suffix) from Old English metend (one who measures or metes), equivalent to mete + --er. The transference from "person who measures" to "device that measures" was probably assisted by association with -meter, as in barometer, etc.
