A unit of volume in the metric system equal to one hundredth of a liter, or about 0.34 fluid ounces.
From 'centi-' (one hundredth) + 'liter' (from Latin 'litra,' a unit of capacity). The centiliter was standard throughout the metric system established in France.
Recipe measurements in metric countries are often given in centiliters—250 centiliters equals a standard cup, and medicine syringes are marked in centiliters, making this tiny unit surprisingly practical for everyday cooking and healthcare!
