  Alcoometry \Al`co*["o]m"e*try\, n.
     See {Alcoholometry}.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The chemists say alcom[`e]tre, alcoom[`e]trie,
           doubtless by the suppression of a syllable in order to


           avoid a disagreeable sequence of sounds. (Cf.
           {Idolatry}.) --Littr['e].
           [1913 Webster]
