Etymology
Noun
litre (plural litres) (official BIPM spelling, British spelling, Canadian spelling, Irish, South African, Australian / NZ spelling)
The metric unit of fluid measure, equal to one cubic decimetre. Symbols: l, L, â„“
(informal) A measure of volume equivalent to a litre.
Usage notes
• The litre is not an SI unit but is accepted for use with SI units. The official SI symbols are the capital or lower-case roman L. The script symbol â„“, while not officially sanctioned, was sometimes used in non-technical contexts to prevent the lower-case roman l from being confused with 1, the number one.
• This, rather than liter, is the spelling adopted by both the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and the International Organization for Standardization in their English language texts. However the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, in accordance with the United States Government Printing Office Style Manual, has chosen to use liter.
