Sorry - requests for definitions and spellings [of words] are no longer being accepted. Please go to amazon.com and purchase a dictionary.
Now, 'Ohmstat' may indeed be a name, but that doesn't make it a word.
Note to Ed Snow: << It is a device for measuring electrical resistivity from Ohm = unit of electrical resistance , and Stat as in Reo -stat , Thermo -stat, etc. Term used mainly by skilled trade. >>
It's called an ohmmeter, not an ohmstat.
