Morphology

ml = milliliter (transparent) = m + l

The abbreviation 'ml' is a direct clipping/abbreviation of 'milliliter', which itself is transparently milli- + liter.

Etymology

Ml comes from the parts milli-, which means 'one thousandth', and liter, a common unit for liquids. So a ml is one thousandth of a liter and is used to measure small amounts of liquid.
