Autotimer

/ˈɔːtəʊˌtaɪmər/ noun

Definition

A device that automatically measures and controls time intervals for a specific function, like an oven or camera.

Etymology

From Greek 'auto-' (self) + 'timer' (from Latin 'timere' meaning to fear/mark time, or more directly from 'time'). Modern mechanical/electronic term emerging in early 20th century.

Kelly Says

The autotimer on your oven changed cooking forever—suddenly anyone could make a perfect cake without standing over it. This simple invention cascaded into self-timers for cameras, which basically invented the selfie decades before smartphones.
