"Megabit" combines the prefix "mega," meaning "million," with "bit," the fundamental unit of information in computing. The term "mega" originates from Greek, signifying "great" or "large," and its use as a prefix for "million" dates back to the 19th century. "Bit" is a shortened form of "binary digit," representing a single value of 0 or 1 in the binary system, the language of computers. Therefore, "megabit" denotes a unit of information equal to one million bits.
