The basic SI unit of thermodynamic temperature (6)

I believe the answer is:

kelvin

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

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
