mega- +‎ million

Noun

[edit]

megamillion (plural megamillions)

  1. (informal) A great number of millions.

Usage notes

[edit]

The word does not come from the SI prefix mega-. Thus the word means "a great number of millions", not a thousand million or a million million. The noun is mainly used attributively.
