cc

Small liquid measure

Cc appears on emails to indicate secondary recipients who receive copies—from carbon copy, the older method of duplicating typed documents.

To cc someone is to include them: I'll cc you on the email.

In measurements, cc stands for cubic centimeter, a unit of volume equal to one milliliter, common in medical and automotive contexts: a 250cc motorcycle engine. (Capitalized CC may refer to Creative Commons licensing.)
