The plural form of centare; multiple metric units of area, each equal to one square meter.

Etymology

French plural of 'centare' formed by adding '-s.' Part of the metric system of measurement.

Kelly Says

This word is almost never used because one square meter is tiny for real estate, and the metric system just jumped straight to hectares for practical purposes.
