Etymology
The term 'milliliter' originated from the Latin word 'mille', which means 'thousand', and the Greek word 'litra', which refers to a unit of weight or liquid measure. The metric system was developed in France during the late 18th century and established a standardized system of measurement, which included the milliliter. Since then, the milliliter has been widely adopted globally for various applications, including medicine, cooking, and scientific research. The metric system allows for easier conversion between units, making it a preferred choice in many fields.
