cubic centimetre

Milliliter's solid equivalent

A cubic centimetre is a unit of volume equal to the space occupied by a cube measuring one centimetre on each side.

It is commonly abbreviated as cc or cm³ and is equivalent to one millilitre.

The term appears frequently in medical contexts for measuring fluid dosages and in automotive contexts for describing engine displacement.

The doctor prescribed 5 cc of the medication.

This is the British spelling; Americans write cubic centimeter.
