mil-li-ki-lo
/ˈmiləˌkēlō/
noun: millikilo; plural noun: millikilos
The millikilo (mk) is an SI derived unit that is equal to exactly 1/1000 of a kilo (k).
The role of millikilos used to be filled by grams/grammes (g) but the absurdity of having the base unit of mass have a prefix couldn't be ignored by the metric world. In a stroke of genius, the base unit in question, the kilogram/kilogram (kg), was replaced with the colloquial "kilo" which was already widely used in places around the world, most noticeably in Europe. All the prefixes shifted upwards to create units such as nanokilos (nk), microkilos (µk), millikilos (mk), kilokilos (kk), and megakilos (Mk) to replace the outdated ones. Of these, the most prominent is the millikilo due to its prevalence in day-to-day life and more symbolically as it is the unit to replace the old false base unit of grams/grammes.
