Many people mix this up with deca-meter. The easiest way to tell them apart is by remembering that other 'smaller' terms like milli-meter and centi-meter have 'i' on the end, so deci-meter is probably also a 'smaller' delineation. So 1 deca-meter is 10 meters, and 1 deci-meter is 1/10th of a meter.
