Origin:
The word "million" originated in the Latin language, specifically from the word "mille" which means "thousand." It was originally used to refer to a collection or quantity of a thousand thousands.
In the 10th century, the Latin word "millio" was borrowed into Old French as "million." It then entered Middle English in the 12th century as "milioun," which eventually evolved into the modern form "million."
The word "million" initially had a literal meaning, referring to the specific number 1,000,000. However, over time, it began to be used more figuratively to describe extremely large numbers or amounts.
