What is the difference between 'deci-' and meters?

With the French Revolution, the prefix was added to meter, to form the word 'decimeter', as one-tenth of a meter. The French Revolutionaries sought to set up a standard, user-friendly system of measures and weights. So they looked to measuring in multiples of ten, and units defined in terms of the meter. They took the word meter from the Greek word for 'measure'. And they set the meter up as one ten-millionth of the distance from the Equator to the North Pole.
