DECA

Student marketing organization

DECA is a prefix meaning ten, from Greek: decathlon, decade, decagon.

In the metric system, deca- multiplies a unit by ten: a decameter is ten meters, a decaliter ten liters.

The prefix is rarely used outside technical contexts, as metric measurements typically jump from base units to kilo- (thousand).

Also spelled deka-.
