Etymology: "Megas" is the plural of "mega," a noun meaning an extremely large thing. The singular "mega" traces back to the prefix "mega-," which comes from Ancient Greek "mégas," meaning "great, large, mighty." Ancient Greek used the word as a plain adjective for size and power, and its Greek form survives as the root of countless modern scientific terms built on the same sense of magnitude. The plural is the form you meet in everyday use, as in "megas" referring to several huge things at once, though it is less common than the singular in English.
