Word origin
The word 'kilo' originated from the French word 'kilogramme', which in turn came from the Greek word 'chilioi' meaning a thousand. The use of 'kilo' as a unit of measurement dates back to the late 18th century when the metric system was introduced. Over time, it has become a widely recognized term for a unit of weight equivalent to 1,000 grams.
