ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:

centimeter (n.)

1801, from French centimètre (18c.), coined from Latin centum "hundred" (see hundred) + French mètre (see meter (n.2)).

meter (n.1)

also metre, "poetic measure," O.E. meter "meter, versification," from L. metrum, from Gk. metron "meter, a verse; that by which anything is measured; measure, length, size, limit, proportion," from PIE root *me- "measure" (see meter (n.2)). Possibly reborrowed early 14c. (after a 300-year gap in recorded use) from O.Fr. metre, with specific sense of "metrical scheme in verse," from L. metrum.
