Etymology 1

    From Middle English metere (“one who measures, measurer”), perhaps (with change in suffix) from Old English metend (“one who measures or metes”), equivalent to mete (“to measure”) +‎ -er. The transference from "person who measures" to "device that measures" was probably assisted by association with -meter, as in barometer, etc.

    Cognate with Scots mettar, metter (“meter, measurer”), Saterland Frisian Meter, Meeter (“measurer, measuring device, gauge”), West Frisian mjitter (“measurer”), Dutch meter (“measurer, gauge”), German Low German Meter (“measuring device, gauge”), German Messer (“measurer, measuring device, gauge”), Swedish mätare (“measurer”).

    Noun

    meter (countable and uncountable, plural meters)

    2. A device that measures things.
      1. A parking meter or similar device for collecting payment.
        gas meter
    3. (dated) One who metes or measures.
      a labouring coal-meter
    4. (American spelling) A line above or below a hanging net, to which the net is attached in order to strengthen it.

      • 2024 September 27, Katie Hunt, “Scientists discover hidden ancient forest on treeless island”, in CNN‎[1], Atlanta, Ga.: Warner Bros. Discovery, archived from the original on 14 February 2026:
        No trees have grown on the windswept Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean for tens of thousands of years — just shrubs and other low-lying vegetation. That’s why a recent arboreal discovery nearly 20 feet (6 meters) beneath the ground caught researchers’ attention.

    Usage notes

    In Brazilian Portuguese, when used in senses 1 and 2, this word is seen as informal and usually as having a more emphatic, slapdash or aggressive connotation than its synonyms colocar and pôr. Compare the sentences Coloquei o livro na mochila and Meti o livro na mochila, both translating to I put the book in the backpack. While the first one merely describes the action, the second one is usually interpreted as a mildly aggressive or hasty action. See also botar, which is also informal.
