History & Origin
The meter liter emerged from the metric system established in France in the late 18th century. The metric system was developed during the French Revolution to standardize measurements, promoting simplicity and ease of use. The liter was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at 4 degrees Celsius, leading to a clear and universally accepted standard for liquid measurement. This standardization was crucial in the context of trade and science, as it allowed for consistent measurements across different regions and industries.
Etymology: The term 'liter' is derived from the French word 'litre', which is a modification of the older Latin word 'litra', meaning a measure of weight or a pound.
