Basic facts: An inch is a unit of length in the United States customary and British imperial systems of measurement [symbol: in]. It is equivalent to 1/36 yard or 1/12 of a foot, meaning there are 36 inches in a yard and 12 inches in a foot. In 1959, an inch was defined to be equal to exactly 25.4 millimeters.
History: The word “inch” is derived from the Roman uncia “twelfth”, the term “inch” is also sometimes used to translate similar units in other measurement systems, usually viewed as deriving from the width of the human thumb, where the length was obtained from averaging the width of 3 thumbs: a small, a medium, and a large one.
In the past, there have been a number of various standards for the inch with the present definition being based on the international yard. One of the earlier definitions of the inch was based on barleycorns [where an inch was equivalent to the length of 3 grains of dry, round barley placed end-to-end].
