     Metric system, a system of weights and measures originating
        in France, the use of which is required by law in many
        countries, and permitted in many others, including the
        United States and England. The principal unit is the meter
        (see Meter). From this are formed the are, the liter,
        the stere, the gram, etc. These units, and others derived
        from them, are divided decimally, and larger units are
        formed from multiples by 10, 100, 1,000, and 10,000. The
        successive multiplies are designated by the prefixes,
        deca-, hecto-, kilo-, and myria-; successive parts by
        deci-, centi-, and milli-. The prefixes mega- and micro-
        are sometimes used to denote a multiple by one million,
        and the millionth part, respectively. See the words formed
        with these prefixes in the Vocabulary. For metric tables,
        see p. 1682.
