A viscount (not viscounty, which is a rarely used term) is a nobleman of the lowest rank below an earl in the nobility system used in parts of the British Isles. It is mostly used in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. A viscount is essentially a count or a lord of a siege, or a region surrounding a castle or town.
Viscosimetry is the measurement of viscosity, a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It quantifies the measure of a fluid's "thickness" or "flowability", or resistance to shear stress.
The word "viscosity" refers to the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow or its "thickness" and stickiness, which is typically measured in units of poiseuille or centipoise. The higher the viscosity of a fluid, the more resistant it is to flow and the more "thick" or "gooey" it is, while a lower viscosity fluid, like water, flows more easily and has a lower resistance to flow.
