It is a device for marking time that sounds a loud click at a chosen rate. You can use it to sound a beat for playing music at the right pace. The word comes from Greek metron (measure) and nomos (law, rule). Please do not believe in those who say that a metronome is a dwarf on the Paris underground! They are confusing metronome with Metro gnome.

A metronome is a device that provides a steady beat, mostly visually and by audio - a rod that goes steadily from left to right and then back again, accompanied by a click, for example.
It is mostly used by musicians when they practice playing pieces of music.

An underground railway in France excavated by very small men, the Metro Gnomes. Modern usage has dropped the "G" and joined up the two words.
It simply means little diggers.
(As opposed to the idle buggers who stand around all day admiring the lawn, the "Garden Gnomes")
