Unit of thermodynamic temperature (6)

I believe the answer is:

kelvin

(Other definitions for kelvin that I've seen before include "British physicist, who gave his name to a temperature scale" , "Scientist" , "SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature" , "degree in cryogenics?" , "Scale of absolute temperature named for him" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
