Today’s Wordle etymology
The word “micro” comes from the Greek prefix “mikro-“, meaning “small”. It has been adopted in English and many other languages to denote something that is small in size or scale. This prefix is used in various scientific and general contexts to indicate a factor of a million (in measurements) or to indicate something significantly smaller than the norm or standard size, such as “microorganism” (a very small organism), “microscope” (instrument for viewing very small objects) and “microchip” (a small semiconductor used to perform logic and memory functions).
