Fingerbreadth

A fingerbreadth is a traditional unit of length based on the width of a human finger, often used in historical and informal measurements. It typically measures about ¾ inch (approximately 19 millimeters), though it can vary depending on the person and context.

Fingerbreadths were commonly used in tailoring, medicine, and everyday life to estimate small lengths before standardized units became widespread.

Key points:

Approximately ¾ inch (19 mm)
Based on the width of a finger
Used in historical measurements and everyday approximations
