A <strong className="text-current">Million</strong> is, quite literally,
8+
a "big thousand." The word descends from the Italian <em>milione</em>{' '}
9+
<em>mille</em> ("thousand") fused with the augmentative suffix{' '}
10+
<em>-one</em>, the same ending that turns a <em>minestra</em> (soup)
11+
into a hearty <em>minestrone</em>. A million is simply a thousand made
12+
enormous.

Before the merchants of the late Middle Ages needed to reckon such sums,
21+
English had no name for it — you simply said "a thousand thousand." The
22+
term arrived in the 14th century alongside the spread of Hindu-Arabic
23+
numerals and double-entry bookkeeping: new arithmetic demanding new
24+
vocabulary.
