Word origin
The term 'deciliter' comes from the metric system, which was developed in France during the late 18th century. The metric system was based on the decimal system, making it easier to use and understand. The prefix 'deci-' is derived from the Latin word 'decimus,' meaning 'tenth.' This makes sense as a deciliter represents a tenth of a liter. The liter itself, which is the basic unit of volume in the metric system, was created in 1795, and has been widely adopted in many countries around the world. The use of deciliters has become common in culinary contexts, particularly in recipes, where precision in measurements is crucial.
