Fathom

Un fathom = 6 piedi o 1,8288 metri, è un'unità di lunghezza nei vecchi sistemi imperiali e americani, utilizzati specialmente per misurare la profondità dell'acqua. Ci sono due metri in un percorso imperiale. Originariamente basata sulla distanza tra le braccia aperte di un uomo, la dimensione di un fathom ha variato leggermente a seconda che sia stato definito come millesimo di un miglio nautico o come un multiplo del cortile imperiale. In precedenza, il termine è stato utilizzato per una qualsiasi di diverse unità di lunghezza variabile circa 5-5 1/2 piedi. Il nome deriva dalla parola vecchia inglese fæðm, corrispondente all'antica parola frisiana "fadem", cioè abbracciando armi o un paio di braccia aperte. Nel medio inglese si trovava. Una lunghezza del cavo, basata sulla lunghezza del cavo di una nave, è stata diversamente considerata pari a 100 o 120 fathoms. Un tempo, un quarto significava un quarto di un guadagno. Abbreviazioni: ftm, f, fath, fm, fth, fthm.

A fathom = 6 feet or 1.8288 metres, is a unit of length in the old imperial and the U.S. customary systems, used especially for measuring the depth of water. There are two yards in an imperial fathom. Originally based on the distance between a man's outstretched arms, the size of a fathom has varied slightly depending on whether it was defined as a thousandth of an nautical mile or as a multiple of the imperial yard. Formerly, the term was used for any of several units of length varying around 5–5 1⁄2 feet. The name derives from the Old English word fæðm, corresponding to the old Frisian word "fadem" meaning embracing arms or a pair of outstretched arms. In Middle English it was fathme. A cable length, based on the length of a ship's cable, has been variously reckoned as equal to 100 or 120 fathoms. At one time, a quarter meant one-fourth of a fathom. Abbreviations: ftm, f, fath, fm, fth, fthm.
