Etymology

Inherited from Middle English: gemetry

Cognate with French: géométrie

In summary

From Middle English gemetry, geometrie, from Old French geometrie (modern French géométrie), from Latin geōmetria, from Ancient Greek γεωμετρία (geōmetría, “geometry, land-survey”), from γεωμέτρης (geōmétrēs, “geometer, land measurer”), from γῆ (gê, “earth, land, country”) + -μετρία (-metría, “measurement”), from μέτρον (métron, “a measure”). By surface analysis, geometer + -y or geo- + -metry. Doublet of gematria.
