The word's original form was something like Proto-Italic *līðra, *leiðra (“pound”), surviving also in Ancient Greek λίτρα (lítra), whence English liter.\nWeiss derives the term from Proto-Indo-European *leyH- (“to pour”) suffixed with the instrumental/resultative suffix *-dʰrom, under the assumption that the term originally meant \"pouring (of metal)\" before evolving to mean a unit of weight. In this case, then cognate with Proto-Slavic *lìti (“to pour”), Proto-Celtic *liyeti (“to flow”), Ancient Greek λείβω (leíbō, “to pour”), Lithuanian líeti (“to let flow”).",
