Think about it - meter, metric. Yes, it is. It's the base measurement of the metric system.

Answer:The meter is the base measurement of length in SI or the International System of Units. Historically, the metre was defined by the French Academy of Sciences as the length between two marks on a platinum-iridium bar, it was supposedly one ten-millionth of the distance from the Equator to the North Pole through Paris. In 1983, the metre was redefined as the distance travelled by light in free space in 1⁄299,792,458 of a second.
