decigram
Ten centigrams combined
A decigram is one-tenth of a gram, a unit of mass in the metric system.
Like other metric prefixes, deci- indicates division by ten, making this a convenient measure for small quantities.
The decigram sees limited practical use today, as most measurements favor grams or milligrams, but it appears in scientific contexts and educational settings when teaching metric conversions.
