History/origin: The millilitre is derived from the liter, which is a unit of volume in the metric system. The metric system originated in France in the late 18th century to standardize measurements.

Current use: Millilitres are commonly used for measuring volumes of liquids, especially in cooking, chemistry, medicine, and everyday life. They are frequently used in recipes, scientific experiments, and for measuring dosages of medications.

Decilitre

Definition: A decilitre (symbol: dL) is a unit of volume equal to one tenth of a litre. It is a decimal submultiple of the litre, the standard unit of volume in the metric system.

History/origin: The decilitre originates from the metric system, which was established in France in the late 18th century. The prefix 'deci-' indicates one tenth, signifying its fraction relative to the litre.

Current use: Decilitres are frequently employed in European countries in cooking recipes. Also, they're sometimes used in medical contexts for measuring fluids, especially blood, and in scientific experiments when volume is a critical parameter.
