The word is taken from Greece.
It's origins are from the Medieval Latin word 'decimlis' which means 1 tenth of a whole. This is an evolution of the word (slang word) 'decima' from earlier Latin langauge.
The Latin word 'decima', still meaning 1 tenth, is from 'decem', meaning ten of or ten units of measurment, which has Indo-European roots.
If you look at the current use of the word 'decimal' you can see it has evolved again. As it now means "Relating to or using powers of ten"
