International unit of length (5)

I believe the answer is:

metre

(Other definitions for metre that I've seen before include "Beat pattern (mus.)" , "Approx. thirty nine point three seven inches" , "three and a bit of a fourth" , "Moisture remover" , "Rhythmic arrangement of syllables in verse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
