The poiseuille (symbol Pl) has been proposed as a derived SI unit of dynamic viscosity, [1] named after the French physicist Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille (1797–1869).. In practice the unit has never been widely accepted and most international standards bodies do not include the poiseuille in their list of units.
The poise (symbol P; / p ɔɪ z, p w ɑː z /) is the unit of dynamic viscosity (absolute viscosity) in the centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS). [1] It is named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille (see Hagen–Poiseuille equation). The centipoise (1 cP = 0.01 P) is more commonly used than the poise itself.

The term antonym (and the related antonymy) is commonly taken to be synonymous with opposite, but antonym also has other more restricted meanings. Graded (or gradable) antonyms are word pairs whose meanings are opposite and which lie on a continuous spectrum (hot, cold).
