decimetricadj.

Brit.

/ˌdɛsᵻˈmɛtrɪk/, U.S.

/ˌdɛsəˈmɛtrɪk/

Forms: 1800s– decemetric, 1800s– decimetric.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: decimetre n., -ic suffix.

Etymology: < decimetre n. + -ic suffix, after metric adj.² Compare French décimétrique (1836). Compare earlier millimetric adj.

Of the order of a decimetre in length, thickness, etc.; measured or expressed in decimetres; (also) designating an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength of one to ten decimetres (cf. decimetre wave n. at decimetre n. Compounds).
