The measurement or determination of magnetic flux or magnetic field strength using scientific instruments.
Formed from 'gauss' (the unit of magnetic measurement named after Gauss) plus the suffix '-age,' which denotes a process, action, or result of measurement or treatment.
The suffix '-age' is incredibly productive in English—it creates nouns from verbs and other words to show a process or action, as seen in 'storage,' 'passage,' and 'drainage.' This is a relatively technical term that physicists use to describe measuring magnetic fields.
