As a standard geographical measure its a double step with milia equal to 1.5 km. Gradus is a single step, often uphills, on stairs or on a ladder. So its use as non-metrical, often intensity measure (fr. degree, engl. degree, it. grado, ger. Grad), for angles, temperature, academic ladders on a scale (gr. σκαλα stairs) as a measurement device. | |
