centimetre
Significado: A metric unit of length equal to one hundredth of a metre, commonly used in everyday measurement and scientific work throughout most of the world.
The centimetre is part of the CGS (centimetre-gram-second) system and remains widely used in medicine, clothing, and everyday life, though SI convention generally prefers millimetres in technical contexts. British English spells it 'centimetre' (not 'centimeter'). It is abbreviated as 'cm' and appears in countless practical and scientific contexts, from height measurements to wavelength descriptions.
