History & Origin
The liter originated in France as part of the metric system introduced in 1795. It was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at the temperature of its maximum density, which is approximately 4°C. This initial definition linked the liter closely with the gram, a unit of mass. Over time, the definition of the liter evolved to become more precise and independent of a specific substance and temperature.
Etymology: The word 'liter' comes from the French 'litre', which in turn derives from the older term 'litron', a unit in the pre-revolutionary French system.
