means The process of determining the size, amount, or degree of something using a standard unit or scale.

from From 'measure,' tracing back through Old French 'mesure' to Latin 'mensura' (a measuring, a rule), itself from 'metiri,' to measure. The root is ancient and deeply embedded in Indo-European languages, related to the idea of allotting or apportioning — the same deep root surfaces in words like 'meter' and 'dimension.' The '-ment' suffix, also Latin, turns the act of measuring into the thing itself: the result, the process, the noun.
