From Proto-Italic *mētis, from Proto-Indo-European *meh₁- (“to measure”). Cognates include Ancient Greek μῆτις (mêtis), μέτρον (métron), μέτριος (métrios), Old Church Slavonic мѣра (měra), compare Hungarian mér, Russian ме́ра (méra), Serbo-Croatian mera, ме̏ра, and mjera, mjȅra, and English meal.
The formation of its supine-stem derivatives with interfixed -n- is irregular, probably due to analogy with pēnsus (“weighed”).
mētior (present infinitive mētīrī, perfect active mēnsus sum or mētītus sum); fourth conjugation, deponent
