- Many units of measurement are named after body parts. we still measure horses in hands, almost everything in feet, and depth of water by the six-foot span known as a fathom. [1] as a noun, the term is derived from old norse fathmr (via old english f?thm) meaning outstretched arms, and an early act of the british parliament quaintly defined it as “the length of a man’s arms around the object of his affections.” [2] as a verb, the term refers to the nautical practice of casting a leadline to determine the depth of water and nature of the bottom. [3] in common usage, fathom is a metaphor for grasping or comprehending the nature of a problem or difficulty by getting to the bottom of it.
- Unit of depth measured as 6 feet.
- A nautical unit of measurement. one fathom equals 6 feet or 1.83 meters.
