thermo
Heat-related word part
Thermo is informal shorthand for thermostat, the device that regulates temperature in a building: Can you turn up the thermo? It's freezing in here.
The word also appears as a prefix meaning heat or temperature in scientific terminology: thermometer, thermodynamics, thermonuclear.
