A metric unit of volume equal to ten liters.
From deca- (ten) + liter. The deca- prefix comes from Greek 'deka' meaning ten. The metric system was standardized in France in the late 1700s with these decimal-based prefixes.
A decaliter is used in winemaking, brewing, and fuel distribution—it's the perfect-sized unit for practical quantities without being as tiny as liters or as massive as hectoliters!
