On wiki measurement is defined as: Measurement is the assignment of a number to a characteristic of an object or event, which can be compared with other objects or events.
So a number.
For scalars, I agree because they are described by a single number.
But what about vectors? They have magnitude, but also direction. You must measure that direction too. Vectors are described using multiple numbers.
