A metric unit of volume equal to ten liters, primarily used in American English.
From Greek 'deka-' (ten) and 'liter' (from French 'litre,' itself from Latin 'litra'). This follows the standard metric prefix system.
A dekaliter is exactly 2.64 gallons—useful for measuring wine, beer, or milk in larger quantities, which is why you'll see it on bottles in countries that use the metric system.
