decillionn.

Brit.

/dɪˈsɪljən/, U.S.

/dɪˈsɪljən/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: deci- comb. form, million n., billion n.

Etymology: < deci- comb. form + -llion (in million n., billion n.).

Originally: the cardinal number equal to the tenth power of a million, represented by 1 followed by sixty zeros (10⁶⁰) (now chiefly British). Later also (originally U.S.): the cardinal number equal to the eleventh power of a thousand, or 1 followed by thirty-three zeros (10³³). Also hyperbolically: an unspecified but very large number or amount.Quot. 1709 refers to Archimedes' use of the number 10⁶³ in his work Psammites. Archimedes expressed this quantity differently, as 10 million units of the 8th numbers; the basis of this numeration is a myriad (10⁴), the unit of the 2nd numbers is a myriad myriads (10⁸), and the unit of the 8th number (10⁸)⁷, i.e. 10⁵⁶. 10 million times 10⁵⁶ is 10⁶³, which Archimedes estimated was the number of grains of sand that would fill the heliocentric universe as envisaged by Aristarchus.
