Etymology of HEKTOLITER

The word "hektoliter" is derived from two root words: "hecto" and "liter".

The prefix "hecto" comes from the Greek word "hectos", meaning "hundred". It is a unit prefix in the metric system that denotes multiplication by 100.

The term "liter" originated from the French word "litre", which was adopted from the older French word "litron". This can be traced back to the medieval Latin word "litra", meaning "a pound by weight". The Latin term was, in turn, derived from the Greek word "leitourgon", which denoted a measure of capacity.

When combined, the Greek root "hektos" and the Latin-derived "liter" form "hektoliter", a unit of volume in the metric system equal to 100 liters.
