Relating to the measurement of weight or gravitational force, or a method of chemical analysis based on mass measurements.
From 'gravimeter' with the suffix '-ic' added, creating an adjective form. Based ultimately on Latin 'gravis' (heavy) and Greek '-metron' (measure).
Gravimetric analysis is one of chemistry's oldest and most reliable methods—you literally weigh chemicals before and after reactions to figure out exactly what happened, which is why this 'weighing' approach is still taught in every chemistry class.
