WHAT DOES DERIVED UNIT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

SI derived unit

The International System of Units specifies a set of seven base units from which all other SI units of measurement are derived. Each of these other units is either dimensionless or can be expressed as a product of powers of one or more of the base units. For example, the SI derived unit of area is the square metre, and the SI derived unit of density is the kilogram per cubic metre. The degree Celsius has a somewhat unclear status, and is arguably an exception to this rule. The names of SI units are written in lowercase. The symbols for units named after persons, however, are always written with an uppercase initial letter.

Definition of derived unit in the English dictionary

The definition of derived unit in the dictionary is a unit of measurement obtained by multiplication or division of the base units of a system without the introduction of numerical factors.
