Origin:
The word "zillion" originated from the Arabic word "ṣifr" ("cipher"), which was introduced to Europe by Leonardo Fibonacci in the 13th century. It was originally used to refer to the number zero. Over time, it came to be associated with the concept of a very large number, as zero is often used to represent nothingness or emptiness. In the 16th century, the word "zillion" began to be used in English to refer to a large, but unspecified, number.
