squillionとは 意味・読み方・使い方

接尾辞

-illion

1. Combined with Latin prefixes for names of integers in order to form names of powers of a million or of a thousand greater than 1,000,000. Thus we have the names billion, trillion, etc.
2. Added to various nonsense syllables to indicate an arbitrarily very large number.

使用する際の注意点

• The word formed by combining the Latin prefix for the name of an integer n (n > 1) with this suffix may mean 1,000,000ⁿ or 1000^{n + 1} depending on national practices. Hence billion can mean “million million” or “thousand million”. See the usage notes at Wiktionary’s appendix on numbers for more information.
