Plural of deciliter; multiple units of volume, each equal to one-tenth of a liter.
Regular plural of 'deciliter,' formed by adding '-s.' The base unit's etymology traces to the metric system's French origins in the 1790s.
Deciliters are wonderfully practical for cooking recipes in countries that use the metric system, but American cookbooks stick to cups and tablespoons instead. It's a perfect example of how even a 'superior' logical system can't overcome the inertia of cultural habit.
