The palm is an obsolete anthropic unit of length, originally based on the width of the human palm and then variously standardized. The same name is also used for a second, rather larger unit based on the length of the human hand.
Decimeter or decimetre is equal to 10-1 meter (unit of length), comes from a combination of the metric prefix deci (d) and the SI unit of length meter (m). Plural name is decimeters.
