decilitre

n. unit of capacity equaling one tenth of a liter

The litre or liter (see spelling differences) is a unit of volume. There are two official symbols, namely the Latin letter L both in lower and upper case: l and L. The litre appears in several versions of the metric system; although not an SI unit, it is accepted for use with the SI. The international unit of volume is the cubic metre (m³). One litre is denoted as 1 dm³.
