Etymology
The term 'milliliter' is derived from the metric prefixes 'milli-' and the liter (L). The prefix 'milli-' is derived from the Latin 'mille', meaning 'thousand', and indicates a factor of one-thousandth. The liter itself was adopted as a unit of measurement in the late 18th century during the French Revolution, progressing into the metric system. Initially defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at the maximum density, the milliliter was ultimately established as a subunit of the liter. The metric system was designed to facilitate easier calculation and universal understanding in science, which contributed to the widespread adoption of the milliliter in various industries, including culinary, medical, and scientific fields.
