Explanation and Etymology - (センチ) senchi

"センチ" (senchi) is a Japanese word that means "centimeter". The word is composed of two kanji characters: "sen" (千), which means "thousand", and "chi" (尺), which means "foot". The word "senchi" (千尺) was originally used in Japan to refer to a unit of length measurement equivalent to 30.3 meters. However, with the adoption of the metric system in 1872, the word "senchi" was replaced by "senchimētoru" (センチメートル), which means "centimeter". Since then, the word "センチ" (senchi) has been widely used in Japan as an informal abbreviation for "centimeter".
