What is an Inch?

An inch is a unit used to measure length, based on the traditional idea of measuring with the width of a person’s thumb. Interestingly, the term inch comes from a Latin word, ‘uncia’, that means ‘one-twelfth’ because an inch is one-twelfth of a foot or one-thirty-sixth of a yard. When noting measurements in inches, you can either write “in” or use the double prime symbol (“).

For example, 4 inches long can be written as 4 in or 4″. Countries like the USA, UK, and Canada often use inches to measure the length of a table or the size of a TV screen.

History of Inch 

The unit ‘inch’ is derived from ‘ince’ or ‘ynce’. However, this Old English word dates back to ‘uncia’ a Latin word that means one-twelfth of a Roman foot. 

King David I of Scotland defined ‘ynce’ about 1150 as the breadth of the man’s thumb at the base of the nail. The measure was typically calculated by adding the thumb breadths of three men one little, one medium, and one large and then dividing the result by three to ensure uniformity in the unit. 

Inch was defined as “three dry, spherical grains of barley set end to end lengthwise” during the early 14th century under the rule of King Edward II. The lengths of 12 poppyseeds combined have also been used at times to be the measurement of an inch. Since 1959, 2.54 cm has been the official definition of an inch.

What is a Foot?

Foot measurement is a way to measure length used in the United States and Britain. People often write it as ‘ft’ or use the apostrophe symbol. It’s a common unit for measuring the size of a house or land. Centuries ago, the exact length of a foot could change depending on where you were or what job you did, usually between about 9.8 inches and 13.1 inches. British and American systems now agree that one foot is the same as 12 inches, and three feet comprise one yard.

Like most other countries, the United States still uses feet for many measurements, like building things or everyday use, instead of meters. Canada also uses feet to measure length sometimes.

History of Foot

The singular of feet-foot, in any of diverse ancient, medieval, and modern linear often measures 25 to 34 cm based on the length of the human foot that is solely used in English-speaking nations, where they typically consist of 12 inches or one-third yard. The meter, the fundamental linear unit in the metric system, has replaced the foot, with its multiples and subdivisions, in the majority of nations and in all scientific uses. The definition of a foot in the United States as exactly 30.48 cm went into force in 1959.
