Etymology
Miligram entered Romanian from French milligramme in the 19th century, alongside the adoption of the metric system. The word combines the prefix milli-, from Latin mille (thousand), with gram, itself borrowed from French gramme, which came from Greek gramma (a small weight, letter). So the word literally means one-thousandth of a gram.
