Thermal+Resistor = Thermistor.
Thermal->temperature.
So, the resistor value depends on the temperature.

Thermister are used to measure temperature very precisely.

This is type of resistor used to calculate tempreture, this resistor is specialy design for temp measurement.

Here sensitive means temperature effects highly in huge amounts. Thermister can have that property.

Thermister is the positive temperature cofficient so that
thermister is the temperature sensitive.
thermister is the temperature sensitive.

Thermally sensitive resistor is known as thermistor.

Thermistor is not a positive temperature coefficient. Its an NTC.
"Negative Temperature Coefficient". (ie) If temperature increases the resistor value starts to decrease. Yogeshwari answer is wrong.

Here name it self specifies that thermistor is a temperature varing device.
Thermal+resister->thermistor.
Thermal+resister->thermistor.

Why photoconductive cell, potentiometer, rheostat are not temperature sensitive?

Thermal + resistance. Resistance of thermister varies with temperature having -ve temp coefficient.
