Admit there’s a metric measure in tangled tape (6)

I believe the answer is:

accept

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'admit' is the definition.
('accept' can be a synonym of 'admit')

'a metric measure in tangled tape' is the wordplay.
'a metric measure' becomes 'cc' (cc is a kind of measure. I am not sure about the 'metric' bit.**).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'tangled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tape' anagrammed gives 'aept'.
'cc' put into 'aept' is 'ACCEPT'.

'there's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
