Definition

Plural of decameter; multiple units of ten meters each.

Etymology

Plural form of 'decameter,' the metric unit equal to ten meters, used in scientific measurements and occasionally in surveying.

Kelly Says

A decameter is exactly 32.8 feet—not a round number in imperial measurements, which is why the metric system was so revolutionary; it made conversions logical rather than memorizing weird fractions!
