Fluid Ounce
Definition: A fluid ounce (fl oz) is a unit of volume used for liquids. There are two different definitions: the US fluid ounce and the Imperial fluid ounce, which differ slightly in volume.
History/origin: The fluid ounce has roots in ancient Roman measuring systems. It was later adopted into the Imperial and US customary systems, although the definitions diverged.
Current use: The fluid ounce is widely used for measuring liquids in both the United States (US fl oz) and the United Kingdom (Imperial fl oz), although the metric system is becoming increasingly common.
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.
