An instrument or device for measuring the intensity or degree of cold.
From Latin 'frigor' (cold) plus '-meter' (from Greek 'metron,' meaning measure). A scientific instrument term, similar to thermometer but specifically for measuring extreme cold.
Scientists created 'frigorimeter' to measure extreme cold before thermometers became standard—it's like how we say 'barometer' for pressure and 'thermometer' for heat!
