Word origin

The term 'fluid ounce' originated in the UK in the early 19th century as a standardized unit for measuring liquid volume. It has since become widely used in both the UK and the US, with slight variations in the exact measurement due to differences in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. The abbreviation 'fl oz' is commonly used to denote a fluid ounce in written and printed materials.
