-Metry
The suffix -metry (from the Greek τὸ μέτρον - the measure) literally means that something is measured. Example symmetry : Here the dimensions of the object parts to be compared coincide ( syn ), the parts are therefore symmetrical, that is (literally translated) "measuring together" or of the same length.
