million

one million / large sum of money / vast number
Noun
pl: millions

This term functions as both a precise mathematical value and a hyperbolic expression. When used as a specific number, it denotes exactly one thousand thousand, often serving as a benchmark for large-scale statistics or financial wealth. In casual conversation, it frequently loses its literal meaning to signify an immeasurable or overwhelming quantity. This usage is common in expressions of frustration or exaggeration, such as claiming to have performed an action a million times to emphasize repetition.
