Definition
西西 (xī xī) is a measure word for cubic centimeter (cc), a Chinese transliteration of the English abbreviation 'cc'. It is used primarily in medical contexts (e.g., injection dosages) and engine displacement. Unlike 毫升 (háo shēng), the standard metric term, 西西 is more colloquial and field-specific.
